"When I attended my first Shrinemont Retreat (boy, was I a nervous wreck!) I was very blessed that I wound up back-to-back with Carl Hornberger in the work room because that meant that I was right across from his amazing wife, Jean! As I learned more about Jean that week I decided I wanted to be like her when I grew up! She is a wonderful person and artist, and her work is fascinating - highly detailed, and with an amazing amount of 'movement' in her pieces. She can make an abstract piece of jewelry look almost symmetrical - her eye for design and continuity is flawless, and yet her work is filled with whimsey and love! I learned much from viewing her work, and have tried to add some of her qualities into my own work. Now you have that chance, too - enjoy the beautiful work of Jean Hornberger!"
