Inspired by the color of gemstones, I developed a love of creating art while simultaneously working as a Graduate Gemologist.  What is a graduate gemologist?  Someone who can grade diamonds and identify gemstones.  My personal art journey has stolen me from the jewelry industry and I am beginning my journey of teaching artistic expression.   Crochet, sewing, Oil paint, watercolor, paper crafts, and origami are some of the ways I create art.
