“Having experienced serious health issues since my early childhood, and growing up in a culture that did not make health care affordable, I was taught to “focus away” from my pain. A lesson that still works today!! That’s how I began designing and creating jewelry for myself. Each time I wore one of my creations, someone always asked me about it and bought it off of me! One of my doctors actually bought my very first piece!! That’s when I decided to turn this particular “focus” into a wonderful passion! ”
