My name is Brenda.  Nicknamed Benjamin (Ben) because (to use a 1592 phrase) I was a tomboy!

Won of Nine.. wondering where that came from?  Well, I’m one of nine.  Number nine to be exact!  Raised in New York City on West 52nd Street in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, my upbringing came with freedom to explore. Born from my ‘intense curiosity’ of travel, music, museums and nature, my creativity presents itself in the form of stories that incorporates fabricating jewelry, and displaying home accessories and fashion apparel .

Over time, my artistic expression has grown into many facets. It reminds me of the architectural facades of Antoni Gaudi’s buildings in Barcelona - my craft is not all that it seems . 

This is me in Thailand on an ox ride (look out Uber!).
