Story Behind the Art:
'My name is Dessy Kumala and I was born in a small village in Western Bali in 1986. People say I am easy-going, loyal and friendly. I grew up in a place known for its rice fields beside the ocean, its cattle farms, rivers, and the Bali Barat National Park. I believe people have a lot of potential in our hands, expressed through the work of our fingers. I noticed this from watching my grandmother, mother and nieces skillfully weaving a canang sari, which is an offering to the deities of our family temples. I realized these skills could be applied to other crafts like jewelry and other accessories. My passion for design helped me decide to become a jewelry designer. Luckily, one of my relatives taught me how to craft silver jewelry. I learned that creating designs is the most challenging part. Even though I dont have a background in art and design, I am learning by creating.'
