Irma received her Vocational Education Teaching Credential for art and painting in 2000 and is currently teaching at Baldwin Park Adult School.

Artist Sigrid Soto was born in Monterey Park, California and raised by her Costa Rican parents in Long Beach, California.  Her interest in color, texture, and nature led to the creation of her original jewelry. The result is a timeless piece, unique yet versatile for everyday and special occasions.
