SEA STRAIT STUDIOS

Later in life I found myself living in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I was surrounded by some of the greatest jewelry in the world. Not only the indigenous Native American, but incredible contemporary artisans. My love grew… What I discovered were numerous supply centres and stores around me which sold not only stones, but the materials and tools to make the jewelry. I was also traveling to South America where street vendors were selling lapis lazuli, coral, malachite and other. I began buying, designing and producing my own line of jewelry.
