PATRICIA OLAZO, HER HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER moved from Peru to Australia eight years ago. After travelling around the Australian countryside they have settled in Brisbane where Patricia creates her bold, contemporary jewellery designs from her home studio. Arriving in Australia was initially an isolating time for Patricia but she eventually found great comfort in absorbing herself in craft projects.
