Monica’s Story In the late 1980’s I found that designing and crafting jewelry was my true passion. For the past 20 years I have designed and crafted jewelry that I've sold at art and craft shows throughout the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Region. Currently my jewelry pieces are also being marketed and sold at Treasure Hunter’s Gallery in Richmond, Texas and Grafton Seasons in Grafton, Vermont. I have recently retired from my profession in Orthopedic Radiology. I'm enjoying the extra time I have to create, design and treasure hunt on road trips! Growing up in Austin, Texas gave me the opportunity to meet many liberal artists. One thing I took from that experience was the desire to remain unique – “Naturally Unique” . I've always enjoyed creative gardening and art projects. I am a member of the Sugar Land Garden Club and teach various arts and craft workshops. For the past 20 years I have been sharing my jewelry and the works of other artist that share my excitement of creating unique art and jewelry. Some of my “finds” I've brought back from my travels to share are Story Bracelets with inspirational messages told through their beads, vintage bottle cap jewelry and Domino Art featuring custom designs. I like to share positive and meaningful art with the hope of bringing happiness to the recipient. Wear my jewelry in joy and happiness - the way it was created and crafted. Carpe Diem –Seize the Day.
