PERSONAL HISTORY
I was born SHEILA JOHNSTON in Detroit, Michigan in 1934.
I graduated from Fordson High School in Dearborn in 1953, and from Michigan
State University in 1957 as a Fine Arts/Education major. My first
teaching job was at La Jolla Jr. Sr. High School in California, where I taught
Art & General Science for two years. I married in 1958 and had a child
in 1960. In 1964 I was the first person to receive a Master's degree in
JEWELRY DESIGN at San Diego State College. From there, I taught at Palos
Verdes High School for many years and also had a wholesale jewelry business
with my husband. My custom jewelry was shown in major shows all across
the country and I was selected as one of ten women in the country for the
AMERICAN WOMEN METAL SMITHS exhibition at the Wichita Art Museum in 1973.
In 1969 I was an Assistant Professor at West Los Angeles
College when it opened. After a divorce in 1974, I began work on another
Master's degree in Primitive Art at University of California at Santa Barbara.
After spending three years studying and teaching in Santa Barbara, I moved to
the charming little community of Baywood Park where I opened my first jewelry
store, Casa de Oro. After five years learning the retail jewelry
business, I grew restless and opened a larger store in Cambria where I sold my
jewelry, pendulums, and books. In January of 2000, I retired and am now
writing full time.
I started studying metaphysics and energy in 1978 and
have worked with the pendulum since 1984. I began writing my first book
in 1986. Although I have taken classes and read many books, the pendulum
has been my "teacher". I felt compelled to share all that I had learned
so that it might benefit others as it has me.
