For 2020, I have a resolution that I have already set into motion to achieve: painting! As you are aware, I paint with gems to create jewelry masterpieces, but did you know my career as an artist began as a painter?!

I hadn't picked up a paintbrush in over fifteen years and have been slowly getting back to what was my first love. I realized I get immense joy from being free to explore creativity and express whatever is in my head at the moment. And I'm committing! I've just secured a secondary painting-only studio in Pasadena, simply so I can work on my painting and sculpture endeavors. I'm really excited and I can't wait to share more of my studies with you. Stay tuned!
