ABOUT ART AND WRITING
• After earning a Masters degree in Fine Arts from the University of California, I spent several years creating and exhibiting both functional and sculptural ceramics. Following the hiatus in my work that resulted from a major relocation, I found myself returning to an earlier love of making jewelry. I eventually began training as a bench jeweler, and have never looked back. I have also been a writer for as long as I can remember, first of philosophical musings and occasional poems, and eventually of a book, The Transformation Journal, which came out of my experiences as a Hypnotherapist, yoga teacher and long-time meditator.
• The Jeweler’s Journal entwines the different threads of my pursuits in art and writing. It is both a place for me to work out my ideas and a virtual studio where I can share with visitors the process of creating my jewelry designs.
The development of my ideas and designs are chronicled, along with photographs, in the “Work In Progress“ entries excerpted below.
