Gianna c Rodriguez
Crestline, CA. USA

I am a retired Social Worker but have been a somewhat talented and
stiffeled artist in my adult years. I chose to become a social worker
because I did not believe I could make a living for my family as an
artist. Making art in many forms always takes me to another
passionate yet serene part of another world within. I have been
working with metals, primarily silver jewelry while incorporating my
own stones, for the past five years but lately yearn to return to
painting. I go back and forth as to confidence to continue but I
realize this is a factor in many talented artist’s lives and so I
will continue so long as it makes me happy and whole. I am 73 years
smarter and I think I may have 20 more years on this wonderful planet
to create barring any unfortunate incidents
