Her curiously of the artistic transformation of metal guided her to pursue both a BFA and an MFA in jewelry and metalsmithing from the University of Texas at El Paso and the University of Oregon, respectively. Through her education she learned the necessary skills for working with precious materials as well as exploring non-traditional materials to incorporate on her one-of-a-kind work. In her work she develops ideas exploring movement, tactility and discovery through the senses; always looking for a true connection to the work through the body. Maru has been working as an artist and professional jeweler for more that 15 years and has taught at several institutions including the University of Oregon and the Seattle University. She also teaches private lessons at her Seattle studio. Maru’s work has been featured in Metalsmith Magazine and is part of the jewelry collection of the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon. Her wedding rings have been published in the book \"500 Wedding Rings\" by Lark Books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about Maru \u003cspan style=\"color: #04a60c;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/danacadesigngallery.myshopify.com\/collections\/instructors\/products\/maru-almeida\" style=\"color: #04a60c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTools are available to purchase through Danaca Design Studio with 15% student discount code.
