Artist's Inspiration - I never intended to create a jewelry collection about angels ... at least not angels in a religious sense. This design marks the beginning of the collection; it also marks a deeper realization of the spiritual role people have in our lives. I learned through this creative journey that circumstances and events bring people into our lives when we need them and their influence goes beyond this life. I was commissioned to create a special project from Jim. The project was an angel pendant design for his antique store, Angels in the Attic. This would be our first and last business venture. Jim, 44, was stricken with terminal cancer. I was drawn to his "living in the now" attitude. As an avant-garde jewelry designer receiving awards for my extreme design style, it seemed out of sync with my artistic ego. Little did I know how significant that commission would be. Within six weeks of meeting Jim, my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The power of that moment was overwhelming and life changing. It demanded that I re-examine my work, my priorities and my respect for time. When my mother passed away Jim attended her funeral, two weeks later, Jim passed. I was privileged to be with both of them at the time of their departure from this world. In retrospect, Perseverance evolved from these events. Perseverance is distinctly human; it is a determination to continue in spite of life's obstacles. For my mother, Jacqueline.
