NEW MEMBER: JANE PELLICCIOTTO
What's something people may not know about your work?
[For me,] jewelry is a later-in-life second-career thing, after almost 30 years as a graphic designer. Not having a client's needs to consider, I work more intuitively than I would have thought I was capable of.

NEW MEMBER: CHRISTINE TERRELL, ADAPTIVE REUSE JEWELRY
What's something hardly anyone knows about your work or about you as an artist?
In this age of social media, it's pretty hard to have unmined aspects of our work or ourselves! I feel like everyone knows everything about me.
