HOW DID YOU GET STARTED WITH YOUR CRAFT? I am a visual artist who left painting to become a self-taught jeweler taken with the idea of memento mori. Since I spent a lot of time in the backyard pondering life during a plague year, I designed a line of jewelry out of all I found - a snail, many acorns and a few twigs mostly dropped by the robin building a nest atop our porch light.
