How did you get into making jewelry?
I'm a workaholic and learned that it is much more difficult to stay home with a child than it seems. I desperately needed something to keep me busy and sane. I know it sounds crazy, but it was a cartoon moment when the light bulb suddenly went off. My dad use to have a metalsmith studio years ago, and I loved working with him. The process of transforming sheet of silver into something beautiful always kept me amazed, so I decided to dust off my interest in jewelry.
