A bit about the artist, adapted from her personal bio:
Alexandra Keller lives in Tucson, Arizona, with her husband and son. She received a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Cincinnati. While at UC, she also completed numerous courses in the Design and Fine Art programs. Alex has always been artistically talented. She credits her mom, with whom she crafted growing up, for her creative streak. Professionally, Alex has worked in retail and financial sales. After deciding to stay home with her son, she was inspired to follow a creative path. She had made and sold jewelry in the past. Running errands one day, she decided there was plenty of jewelry in the resale market to use as materials for her {new} creations. Alex recycles vintage & resale jewelry into fresh and fabulous pieces. Visit Alex Keller on Etsy and check out her blog, too!
