    I was an art history major in college and also studied painting,
    drawing, and printmaking, and theatrical scene and costume design as
    well as photography. I remembered that a girl-friend from my college
    days (who was unfortunately murdered in Tampa, FL at the age of 22)
    had plans to drop out of college and sign up for a jewelry-making
    program in Chicago. I decided I would try doing what Ellen had always
    wanted to do, and I was hooked from the start. So here I am. After 22
    years in the software development field, it was time to get back to
    my artistic roots, and jewelry-making fills the bill. Jewelry sells a
    lot faster than paintings or photographs, to boot. It's a commodity
    with a market, whether it's "art jewelry" or run-of-the-mill items.
