The moment you realized art fed your soul

I was recently interviewed by the great team of POET AND THE BENCH about my life as a jeweler and as a scientist.
Here are a couple of the questions that I was asked:

Describe the moment you realized art fed your soul.
There wasn’t a specific moment—I was really young when I started sketching animals on a piece of paper. My creativity found expression, first in drawings, and later on, in writing, photography, and jewelry making.

What themes do you pursue in your art?
Every jewelry piece that I make is connected to nature and my life as a scientist. My background as a marine biologist plays a huge role in my creative process, and each of my jewelry pieces tells its own, unique, nature-inspired story. I think it’s important to always tell a story; it doesn’t matter if you write an article or a book, take a picture or make a piece of jewelry.

Being in the circle

Recently, I found myself in an... inner circle. I was asked to share my insights and experiences with the readers of I AM THE LAB in the "The Inner Circle" page. The first interview was about website platforms to use for jewelry business and online sales. Check this page for some interesting articles by a panel of industry experts!
