"I am originally from Hunter's Point, Arizona. I am forty eight years old and married to my husband for twenty seven years. We have six children and four grandchildren.

I learned to make jewelry by watching my parents when I was a child. It looked like a fun job making silver into a work of art. It was not until years later when I started sand casting silver on my own and designing my own work.

I make many kinds of jewelry like: bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, belts and squash bloosom necklaces and rings.

I sign my work with "M" and sterling stamp. I have been working on silver jewelry for 25 years."
