"I am Jessica Bryant, and I operate my tiny business, Snapdragon Studios, out of Tijeras, New Mexico. I've come to jewelry later on my artistic trajectory--Children's Literature and Illustration was the primary focus of my college studies, and I believe this continues to influence every one of my works, even if my medium today is different."
