I have been making jewelry professionally for over thirty years. I grew up in a family where creativity was a way of life. My father, a sculptor, and my mother, a fashion designer, together created the "Collins of Texas Handbags", popular in the "sixties". For me, one of the most rewarding things about these many years that I have been making jewelry is to see how my employees and students alike have perfected their skills. I enjoy seeing people develop skills that will make their lives richer, whether professionally or just for the fun of it.
