Born and raised in a small town near Cape Cod. I grew up as a wandering soul ("willow of the wisp" as my grandmother used to call me) in search of something profound. I was always in touch with nature being that I had a hard time making friends in a town that had little to no minorities. I was one out of three African American students in my school, including my sister, in an all white school. I needed something to identify myself with to make me feel like I belong. With no surprise, I could only find that at home. My grandmother was a strong, proud woman with Native American background, my grandfather was a hard working man from the Cape Verde Islands. They raised my sister and me to be respectful, proud, strong woman.
My grandmother past away in 2002, that left me lost. I felt trapped and alone wandering in a world of seclusion. I needed help healing that no one could give me nor did I except, I needed my grandmother. After months gone by, I started to feel again and started to bead. I developed a talent that became therapeutic and very personal to me. It is a representation of myself and how I'm feeling in the moment of creating. I feel and see my grandmother in every piece that I make. Her voice telling me, "don't be afraid to be yourself. Keep strong, be proud, stay beautiful and to love yourself."
Made with love and care, each piece has its own characteristics and are one of a kind.
Peace and blessings

Hello Janeen, Thank you very much for the kind acceptance of my friendship and for adding one of my works into your gallery. I appreciate it deeply!:)) Your jewelry is indescribably beautiful and so unique, done with so much sensitiveness and a great eye for detail and the great overall decorative pattern feeling. You make women feel like Goddesses wearing your jewelry collections, proudly dedicated in your thoughts to your wonderful grandmother. I admire your strength and the way you have found your way of expression through art to overcome the sorrow over the loss of your dear grandmother. Wishing you sincerely much inspiration, happiness and the personal success in life!!!******* My deepest respects and much admiration, Katerina
