I am the fourth of five children, and our Mother always said we each have a special gift or talent. Hers was her green thumb! She loved to garden (flower & vegetable) in her back yard! My talent is organization while I thought my two sisters were the only creative or artistic ones! I have been attempting some sort of art or craft since I was a very young girl. I have experimented with all sorts of arts and crafts, from sewing, to crocheting and quilting, to cross stitching, to smocking, to stained glass. I have done papier-mâché ornaments and even attempted acrylic painting! My artistic self was dormant and waiting to be expressed. So the search continued until 2007, when I attended an introductory class creating jewelry using silver metal clay taught by a local artist. This was an instant love affair! I found my artistic voice. I was hooked, and have never looked back. I am not formally trained as a jeweler. My creativity, long dormant, began to evolve, filling that small void in my completeness! The fundamental need to express myself using my God given gift or talent is blossomed.
