​I grew up in an environment where making things was natural. I started working with the family business in 1979 after my graduation from school. I thought this would be a temporary arrangement, but in 2019 I celebrated my 40 years as an entrepreneur.

 

Still, I have always been an artist.

I have always loved working with my hands: making greeting cards, sewing choir dresses, sofa covers, my own wedding dress, a national costume dress, needle point etc. I was thrilled to make clothes for our two daughters when they were small.
