Wanting to travel, I and a friend applied to Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Here, I was sequentially a ward nurse, worked on a research project and taught nurses obstetrics.
I married a doctor trained at Hopkins and following his training and national service, we lived in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Portland. Finally, we settled on Mercer Island with our four children. After much travel, happily, three of them have returned to live on the island. We also have six grandchildren on the Island.
About 20 years ago I took classes at BCC in many subjects, including, making jewelry and photography, including an AA in Bio-photography. Twenty years later, my family are sufficiently adorned with my creations and I thought I would see if someone other than family would like my work. I enjoy all the different methods of making jewelry and like to incorporate interesting items or stones into my pieces.
At the 2016 MIVAL Holiday Show at the Community Center, I received an “Honorable Mention” Certificate.
