Recently, Ampersand Graphics has opened another division called "& Designs by Suzanne." It is an outlet for my purely creative side where I create wearable art. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind creations sculpted around beautiful stones. Mother nature has created gorgeous colors, textures and shapes, and it is a challenge to create settings that enhance their beauty.
