Jewelry
Mary Fortner at work in her studio
The spirit that guides my hand and makes my heart race with a new idea or design is that same force that all artists feel. The drive to create; to make something beautiful or functional or inspirational is what keeps us breathing and living. Art—in all forms— gives joy to the world and to the artist.
“Beads are my palette. Jewelry is my art.”
