Story Behind the Art:
'My mother instilled in me the value of a 'Balinese woman,' including how to prepare temple offerings. At the age of 16, I studied at SMIK (Sekolah Menengah Industri Kerajinan) in Gianyar where I learned batik, ceramics and other home industries. Back from school, I took an apprenticeship with a silversmith in a village where they specialized in jewelry. Today I work together with local silversmiths to promote Bali's beauty in our own way. We make different kinds of jewelry, mostly with sterling silver, in both traditional and modern styles.'
