About me: I live in the Arizona desert, have been blessed with a wonderful family and love to do my art. My most precious moments are creating outrageous and unique pieces of jewelry for the embelishment and empowerment of great women. Mostly my friends. I am fortunate to be surrounded and befriended by many fantastic ladies. I am part of a group of eccentric women artists: www.thephoenixfridas.com
I am married to the artist, el Maestro ZARCO: www.zarkmask.com
Our first son is the violinist QUETZAL: www.qviolin.com
I enjoy my family immensely. I live for all our three children and savor every bit of their successes. I am mesmerized by their creative spirits and their fascinating friends who are the voices of their generation. I love cooking, beading, playing music and just being creative.
I also do a lot of volunteering in my community and serve on many boards i.e. www.culturalcoalition.com www.alacaz.org
Here is some of my jewelry for sale. I make many styles and colors of earrings, necklaces, purses, hair jewelry, bracelets and the very sexy and colorful anklets...
