| I AM FROM |
| I was born surrounded by mountains and raised in a dairy farm. During my childhood I |
| used to talk to all that lives there, whether it was through hearing the forest chatter, or |
| dancing with the water in a creek. These were an important part of my childhood. One day, |
| my grandfather gave me natural stones and gemstone pebbles as a gift. This idea opened the |
| door to me for what “Jewelry Art” meant. And from this day on, I wanted to create the |
| shapes and inspirations from nature in my own way. |
| |
| Years later, I had graduated from university with an art degree. During this time, I |
| experienced art from different angles as a giftware designer. When I came to New York, the |
| experience re-defined my origin as an artist. Being in a big city driven by diversity, I came |
| to realize that, clearly, “we are all parts of the Nature”. |
| |
| To this day, my mission is to produce the same “Happy” living through my hand-made art |
| ware that expresses through the inspiration from nature. |
