After working in the corporate world in accounting and real estate, I decided to raise my children and develop my love for art.  Although I did design of residential real estate, my true love has been gemstones and jewelry design since I was a child.  I never got the rock polisher I wanted as a child, but I have received the tools and inspiration for when I was ready to explore by desires.  As I raised my children and had the trials off life show up.  I took time to look within, became a Certified Yoga & Meditation instructor and searched for a deeper meaning of life...I have found it in my family, friends and my artistic expression.
