"Creativity has always been my passion, and also a mental retreat since childhood. I create most everything simply for creating sake, but it was very exciting to learn that some other people share my esthetics and appreciate my craftsmanship. It is the most rewarding experience, and I am so grateful be able to call that my career. I started my art with painting, then studied glass, then moved onto jewelry making. I make all my work by hand myself, in a little backyard studio in Massachusetts." - Chihiro Makio
