A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ARTIST...I am a self-taught artist and a native of Washington State. For the past 35 years, I lived and worked as a studio jewelry artist in the Methow Valley at the eastern base of the Cascade Mountains. The valley is a beautiful, vibrant community of artists working in various media who sell locally, on-line and in the greater Seattle-Puget Sound area. Recently, I moved my studio to the Seattle area to be closer to the craft movement in Puget Sound.
