My name is SiaCorrina Durocher and I live in Athens, Greece. I am the artist/designer/creator of all the work you will find on this website and in my shop in Greece (located at Estias 5, Vari).

I have been playing with metal, beads and stones for over 15 years now and I started taking my creations (not myself) seriously about three years ago.

I began learning about metal and jewelry making when I was living in Central America. During those four years living/travelling in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico I learned about two part/air dry clay, marble carving, metal smith techniques, gemstones, and most of all - myself.  Those were the four most interesting years of my young life at the time!

At the tender age of 22, I stopped travelling and creating and began working ... I moved to the USA and tried so many types of work - waitress, bartender, receptionist, etc  ...  Nothing seemed to fit.

Eventually, I went back to university and completed two degrees - one in Spanish (seemed like the logical choice as I was already fluent from living in CA for four years!) and one in teaching. I then worked as a teacher for a few years  ...   I still felt like something was missing - I just couldn't quite figure out what it was.

I was 33 years old before I realized that my main desire was to create ... to create beautiful things ... to fill my days with imagination and passion ... to lay my head on my pillow at night knowing I had added something new to my world ... in essence, to follow my heart and my spirit. Now, as I near 40 I can honestly say that life has never been sweeter for me.

It took me a long time to listen to my heart and to follow it, but now that I have, I don't feel as though anything is missing anymore. As my ideas turn into creations, I can feel the circle of energy being completed within me. I am excited everyday.

I feel as though each of us has an obligation to create beauty in our world and I am so happy to have found my way of contributing to that creation. My sincerest hope is that we can all find that which fulfils us and that we can then share that joy with those around us.

If you live in Greece (or are planning to visit!), please come by my shop for a visit and a glass of wine with me! I would love to meet you!
