Starting at the bottom and working my way up… I’ve lurked in
orchid off/on for a few years, but figured I’d jump in and get my
feet wet.

I have a jewelry making certificate from NBSS and have also a BA in
Art. I am interested in working in both jewelry and painting. I have
comprehensive study in both. Each field reflects the combined
knowledge of metals, stones and sacred geometry. I find it important
to relate to Art through spirit uality with reference to all my
works.

a regular basis to expand my abilities at the bench.
