I love my job! People bring their vacation energy to my house. I was raised by two artists, both my parents made jewelry in the 1970s. I started making silver jewelry when I was 8. I started taking pictures when I was 10. I was a yearbook photographer in high school and spent years printing pictures in darkrooms. I still do both jewelry and photography. In high school, I added Pottery and woodworking. Since then I have added new artistic mediums to my collection every year.
