I love what I do! I live in Western Mass and work full time on my jewelry in my home studio. I’m the youngest of five talented sisters, and was encouraged by them and my artistic parents to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture in 2000. When the steel, plaster, cement and welding supplies wouldn’t fit in my space, my work got smaller...and smaller. Until I found my passion of adorning people with natural jewels. Working primarily with natural elements- hand fused glass, silver, butterfly wings, leaves and tree bark, I create pieces that preserve each elements’ natural beauty while showcasing my love of color. I sell my work online, at several boutiques and at craft shows year ‘round. On my days off, I can be found walking in the woods hoping to spot a moose, supporting my sporty husband at a kayak race, helping my dad install a public art project, or laughing hysterically with my sisters. I’m pretty happy. Join my newsletter or read more: BLOG: http://popko.blogspot.com FACEBOOK: http://facebook.com/PopkoShop
