About the Jewelry Designer

I have to thank my Grandmother for all my artistic design skills. She was an amazing woman with exceptional talent in both design and artistry. 

I began my own craft journey in 2002, teaching myself decorative painting (tole painting). However, six years later, it became increasingly difficult to paint with the fine detail required as my "Tremors" (an inherited shaking disorder) worsened. Not wanting to give up my love for artistry and design, I decided to explore a new path and started creating handcrafted jewelry. 

In 2018, my husband and I made a significant life change and moved from California, where I had spent my whole life, to Canby, Oregon. This town resembles the small community I was born and raised in, making it feel like home right away. However, my life had changed; I could no longer participate in so many shows, so I designed a website, added new designs using exciting newly discovered artists, to my inventory, and shifted my business to online selling. 

I am truly happy and loving Oregon. GOD never gives us more than we can handle. 

You can find my designs on my website creationswithheart, as well as on Instagram at lindatoddartist and Etsy at mycreationswithheart. 

Enjoy! Linda
