“I was originally trained as an architect / interior designer and worked in architectural offices in my native Austria.
“I was originally trained as an architect / interior designer and worked in architectural offices in my native Austria.
I came to Vancouver Island in the early 70’s to join a husband whose hobby was lapidary work. Basic instruction in silversmithing was found at UBC and subsequent summer studies at Notre Dame University in Nelson, B.C. provided the groundwork, upon which to build my own style.”
“During my years in Parksville I became a member of the Artisans’ Studio in Nanaimo, B.C. co-founded the Handcrafter Gallery in Parksville, and started teaching through Malaspina College.”
“Since moving to Victoria, I have taught hundreds of silversmithing students at Camosun College as well as privately, some of whom have gone on to become internationally recognized artisans.”
