About The Artist 

"I’m a beach girl.  When I was little I would sit alone on the dunes and think that the crashing waves were “Mother Natures Heartbeat”.  I  remember how motivated  I was to create art after an exquisite performance by lightning or watching the delicate but powerful dance of a butterfly…

 

After a charmed 15 year career as a fashion jewelry designer, I took time off to raise my son.  The urge to create beckoned and I was back to college for landscape design and a new career.  While working in the gardens, I found myself being pulled back to my roots as a sculptor, painter, and again, my 1st love, jewelry design...Bold forms, sensual pearls, and statements about womanhood." -Debbie Mostel
