Trudy's creative talents were evident at an early age, when, at 2, she painted her first original piece of art on her parents living room carpet. Driven by her love of art, Trudy continued her creative studies in high school and college, receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art from the California State University at Long Beach. Trudy's love of jewelry design began in high school when classes in goldsmithing piqued her interest.
Today she combines the techniques she learned in these classes with a wide variety of high quality and unique materials from around the world. The shapes, colors, details and asymmetrical balance found in nature serve as Trudy's design inspiration. Although her designs may start out with a specific idea, her finished jewelry pieces are never a forced effort.
The creative process evolves organically allowing for changes in direction along the way. Since 2002, when Trudy James Unique Handcrafted Jewelry was founded, the artist has designed and created each piece of jewelry by hand in her San Diego area studio.
