Peggy Pollak - Bare Bones Jewelry

Location: Flagstaff, Arizona
"I was motivated to make jewelry when I could not find earrings that I liked.  In response to requests from friends, I was soon making pieces to give away or to sell.  I am inspired by Native American work, the colors and patterns of natural gemstones, and nature in general. My work evolved from stringing and weaving seed beads to metalsmithing with sterling silver to casting silver, all with the brightest stones that I could find. 
 
My introduction to art actually occurred 20 years ago when I was a potter.  At that time I took all the ceramics courses at NAU while working on my PhD in Botany.  In the midst of my graduate work, my major advisor informed me that I didn’t have time to do both art and science and that I would have to choose.  I chose science, but always intended to return to art when I had the time.
 
I currently divide my time among teaching Biology courses at NAU, mothering three children, and making jewelry.  I love all three activities and feel that there is a certain synergy among them.  In my spare time I garden, ride my horse, read, especially Southwest fiction, and enjoy the woods around Flagstaff.
 
In addition to showing my work in galleries, I have participated in a number of juried shows in Northern Arizona, Scottsdale, and Salem, Oregon."
