                    ". . . If you don't know your gold, know your goldsmith . . ."
"Born in Fairbanks, Alaska, I have lived all of my life in various parts of Alaska. I have had jewelry chosen to go on tour in the Anchorage Museum of History & Arts', "The Earth, Fire, Fibre XVI Alaska Biennial Craft Exhibition". I have also had a showing of ink drawings at the 1st Federal Savings & Loan Gallery in Fairbanks. My gift shop is on Main Street in Hope. My pieces are also featured at the Bardarson Studio in Seward, Alaska. I guarantee my work."        - Sourdough Dru
