Well I think I have set a new record for how far behind I can get in my blog! I haven't dropped off the planet, but it has been one long and tough winter. We lost my beloved father on December 23, 2017. Since then it has been a struggle to stay on top of my work while taking the time to cherish memories of my dad, tie up his estate, and simultaneously try to squeeze in studio time.
On a more positive note, spring is finally around the corner and I am starting to finalize my show schedule for this year. I recently returned to working on my jewelry series inspired by the great painter Frida Kahlo and her passionate life. The series began with a custom necklace for a wonderful customer and has continued with additional custom pieces. Stay tuned as I update my show list, with links on the right side of the page. Happy spring!
