She met Al Somers (Pascua Yaqui) in 1983 and began learning silversmithing under his tutelage shortly after. She recalls becoming immediately hooked on the process of inlay and says \u003c\/span\u003e\"that was my thing,\" but embraced anything she was given to work on. Kimari and Al moved all over the Southwest with their kids but finally settled in Lake Havasu, Arizona in 1992 where they continued to handcraft old school jewelry that could be found with Ortegas, Garlands, Peyote Bird and private collectors in Japan. Al passed away in 2016, but Kimari has continued to create beautiful sterling and turquoise jewelry in the same meticulous manner that the love of her life taught her 40 years ago. While she still turns out many of their original designs, she also draws inspiration for new work from her love of the natural world. Kimari currently resides in the Sonoran Desert with her dog Rosie, her \u003cspan\u003eSulcata tortoise Sheila and her cat Chloe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s4\"\u003e📝\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s4\"\u003e🌵\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHandcrafted work is unique in its design, which means that imperfections will most often be part of an item’s character.
