Amy Cantini

Kathleen Moss is a jewelry designer who has been creating jewelry since mid 2007.  Creativity is nothing new to Kathleen, who learned at an early age the pleasure of accomplishment in the arts of embroidery, crocheting, knitting, and sewing to name a few of the pastimes inspired and guided by her mother.  The tradition continues between mother and daughter with Amy Cantini - daughter to Kathleen - who inspired and taught her mother the basics of jewelry making.

For Kathleen, the inspiration in making jewelry comes from various components, especially the stones that make up the astounding interior of our Earth and the lovely lampwork beads formed of molten glass by extremely talented individual artisans. "I love to mix the delicate with the strong, the elegant with the rustic; the pleasure of seeing the power or tranquility of color and the interest of combining contrasting patterns."

Kathleen's philosophy is "The creativity in everyone is, I think, a picture of the human spirit.  I believe all of us have some form of creativity within that has either been nurtured or stifled from the time we were small.  I believe when people create, they blossom in their soul and find a peace the spirit craves because of who we are meant to be."
