RONDA NIELSON
BIOGRAPHY

I began my artistic career as an art educator at the secondary level. After nearly 20 years teaching commercial art, design, and drawing, a decline in student enrollment and a surplus of teachers of art required me to complete requirements to teach other subjects. My teaching career became diverse and my expertise broadened to include not only English but also Art History and Debate.

After retiring from the classroom, I began making earrings from beads but soon discovered that I needed additional skills to execute my ideas. I spent a week in Santa Fe, New Mexico, learning to fabricate silver, and for the past five years, I have been creating earrings, improving my practice, and broadening my techniques under the business name Zooming Angel Jewelry.

I am mad about earrings whether making or wearing them. My objective is to create earrings that are unique, stunning and wearable. Zooming Angel earrings are available in Salt Lake City, Utah, at Utah Artist’s Hands and during the summer at the local Farmer’s Market.
