Amongst the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains you will find a small studio; walls covered with local artwork and coils of wire and solder.
Strewn about the work bench are just completed rings, containers of gemstones and seaglass, a drill and several pliers. In one of the two mismatched chairs bordering the workbench a shih tzu dozes and in the other a woman works on attaching a wire to chain.
"Minimalism is not a lack of something. It's simply the perfect amount of something."
