"I have always shown a talent for handcrafts and painting, but I had not explored fully this talent. Then, in 2002, I began to make jewelry after being encouraged by a friend who was opening a shop. I began making pieces with resin beads and gradually integrated stones into my designs. I realized I was seduced and charmed by the gems, so now they are my main prime materials. I felt something different when I manipulated the stones – I discovered there is really a force emanating from them.

"Eventually I began to sell my work amongst friends, then in shops and now, through Novica, on the Internet. My hobby became a small business in a most natural progression, bringing me great satisfaction and pride. I realize Novica is an excellent sponsor of an artist's work, for it reaches a broader, more receptive audience."
