- You may have guessed … I ‘m an Aries….
I’ve been a designer / artist for over 30 years now.
In my early years I started by painting and designing clothes and jewelry for myself .I was entered in the New Jersey Teen Arts Festival 3 years in a row in High School. As both an Artist
and a member of our High School Stage Band .
I have always enjoyed working with 3 dimensions and loved flowers so I went into the floral business in 1982 a where I learned from a Master Floral Designer and teacher.I worked as a designer in several shops and attended Design School where I expanded my training from just floral to include Jewelry Design as well. I worked in several local shops before deciding to branch out. I became the designer and crafts manager for a newly opened Rag Shop and won several innovative design awards from wholesale craft distributors While I was there I taught everything from floral design to fabric painting. I worked as Designer and Teacher in 2 other shops before opening my own floral and gift shop in 1992 called Aries Designs and Gifts where I sold floral designs as well as my own handcrafted items including my own jewelry.

In many areas of the world, it is hot and summer is on the way, so it is time to break out the shells and other summer related jewelry components and get busy making jewelry you can enjoy for the next few months.
