About Me
- timelessdesignbyree
- (Ana Marie) Ree grew up in Sitka, Alaska where she has her fondest childhood memories. After attending Seattle University in Washington State, she returned to Alaska, this time in Juneau. Her passion for beaded and wire-worked jewelry was sparked during frequent visits to her local bead store while accompanying her daughter to have custom made pieces created for them. That was 12 years ago and Ree's creations have been featured in many retail shops. Inspiration for her work comes from the natural beauty found in all corners of Alaska. Although found Beach Sea Glass, Semi-precious stones, Walrus and Mammoth Ivories, Moose and Caribou Antlers are her favorite materials to work with, she also loves the challenge of designing jewelry with random found items that surrounds her. With the demands of a family of 5, Ree finds creating jewelry to be very therapeutic.
My constant inspiration is my family. I create to get away from it all...LOL! Just kidding aside, my inspiration changes from time to time, today, I am inspired by the creative women who are featured in the blog Where Women Create. I am truly encouraged not only to create but to truly personalized my own work area to fit my personality. Doesn't matter if you only have a small table or a 20,000 square foot studio as one of the women featured, but to be able to let loose to transfer your imagination into your favorite medium is what its all about. I have recently set up two tables in my office space, one for my computer and office materials and another table where my creations are manifested. I surround myself with all things I consider to be happy, not necessarily peaceful or else I'll just fall asleep. I like to keep a balance of colors which makes my mind awake, like greens & turquoises, which gives me a refreshing feeling but yet I like to add raspberry and golds to make my area feels like home. Today, I'm truly inspired!
