By Aamir Mannan.

After two years of high school metalworking classes, she was hooked, and by her senior year at the University of Wisconsin she had won her first award. As she headed out to buy a down jacket with her prize money, jewelry professor Eleanor Moty suggested that she invest in a flexible-shaft machine instead. That was 1975.

"And it's still whirring in my studio! But back in school, I was intrigued by fibulas, and the fact that the functional components -- the pin stem and catch -- were all one. That concept is now at the center of all my work. I design in an almost subtractive manner, eliminating anything that seems extraneous and distracting, or that simply doesn't go with the rest of the design."
