My interest in jewelry began in my youth in Salina, Kansas with a
grandfather who was a geologist. I progressed from using a rock
tumbler in grade school to silver smithing in high school. With a
degree in art from the Colorado College in 1979, my interest in metal
smithing continued as an avocation.
In 1986, having spent six years in retail management, I decided I
wanted to be my own boss. In February of 1987,Designs by Dru,
became a reality.
Inspired by nature, I am drawn to simple organic shapes
and forms to use in my designs. Most of my work is done
using construction techniques, but I also utilize lost wax and sand
casting.
