-How did you find Etsy? How long have you been selling on Etsy?
A friend told me about Etsy. I've been selling since 2009.
-How would you describe your style? Have any other artists etc influenced your style?
eclectic I guess. I do a bit of everything and yes, other artists have influenced my style. I change all the time because of other things I see people making.
- How did you first come to art and creativity? How did your journey in art and creativity begin?
I think I may have been born with it. My father and grandfather were watchmakers by trade. My father owned a jewelry store most of my growing up years and I spent a lot of time there even helping him. He would make jewelry for people too. Unfortunately, I didn't really get into it until after he died. But I think he had an influence on my decision. I also loved art and took 4 years in high school. My plan was to be a commercial artist, but I got married instead and chose not only a career as a wife, but also as a teacher of the Bible.

Just when people tell me they love the pieces that they have gotten.
