Bio of Artist - Courtesy of her website: 

I am an independent jewelry designer and gold-silversmith. Techniques are hand fabricated, constructed and photo etching.
My design has two different themes. One is exploration of three dimensional abstraction. The other is organic and whimsical.
I use variety of natural gems. The beauty of natural gems has magical powers. They often leads me to create unique and fun designs.
I do most of my lapidary work myself as well as all of designs and production. Featured on the cover of Lapidary Journal 2000, as shown in last picture.
