About Us
20 Years in JewelryABOUT SALLY
I grew up south of Buffalo, NY and have moved through Rochester, NY; Baltimore, MD; Mt. Top, PA and finally (I hope) Chicago, IL.
My first experience with juried art shows was as a tole painter when I was in junior high school. In 2006, I begin selling my jewelry at a local farmer’s market. After my first sale, I knew what I wanted to do as my children continued to work me out of a job and grow up!
I make time to work in my home studio when I can. I try to spend a little time every day working on new pieces and mastering new techniques. I am constantly thinking of design possibilities to put wire and beads together to create a piece pleasant to look at and to wear. Every piece I make is a one-of-a-kind creation – just like all of you!
As I watch my children grow, I’ve found that I have grown along with them. They have have taught me to share everything, to be aware and wonder, and to play every day. I am grateful for many things. I’m particularly thankful for the opportunity to share my passion for unique jewelry and design with you!
