I believe in the healing power of art in all it's forms. I use everyday objects, recycled pieces (my transformative jewels), wire, glass, semiprecious stones, acrylic, metal sheets, nature, fibers and fabric to capture the energy and power and create my visions. My inspiration comes from my travels, various cultures, nature, the past and the vision of the future. Many people have asked why the name Virago...Virago is "a woman of extraordinary stature, strength and courage; a woman who has the...masculine mind of a man; a female warrior; a vixen." Chaucer described a Virago as, "serpent under femininity..." I am the creative force behind Virago Creations. A massage therapist, Reiki healer and jewelry designer, I used my hands to mold, twist, bend and weave her designs. A mostly self-taught jewelry designer, and former New Yorker, recently relocated to New Mexico from hurricane prone South Florida. I'm a member of Mensa and enjoy travel, museums, cooking, sunbathing on the beach, winetasting, and touring historic homes.
