"I love the Ocean!! I love the beach!! The colors and textures of the sky, the water, the sand and the trees completely inspire me. The movement of sun and shade playing on all of these entices me. The scents and the air... I find such peace when I am there. Ideas come flowing to me. The mountains give me a very similar inspiration. The textures, the sky ,the terrain. I love being in all of it." ~ Patty Anderson

We love her inspiration tags too!

Isola Bella's Q & A with the fabulous Patty Anderson

What is a typical day like in your studio?

PA ~ "I am also a personal trainer. I love the one on one with my clients. It is a nice balance because when I am in the studio, it is just me. I finish with my clients mid morning and hit the studio. I check my emails, then it's down to work."

What is your favorite piece from the collection?

PA ~ "My favorite jewelry design at the moment is the Star of the Sea. The Sterling oxidized chain is made in Italy. It is gorgeous. The first time I got it I was so afraid to cut it and play around with it. I finally got my nerve up and cut into it. I scattered pearls on it with sterling wire and placed one of my starfish through the 3 chains. I was thrilled with the design. I love wearing it. I call it my signature piece."

"My favorite belt is the Starfish Buckle and the Pink Gator leather. The starfish buckle was my original thought for a buckle. It is where the whole belt line originated."

"I am currently adding 4 new women's buckles to my line. They are an anchor, a heart, a whale and a flower. I also have a men's line in the works. It will be a preppy, beachy, line. Both seersucker and leather belts. My husband and son are very excited!!"

What is fun and inspiring to you?.

 PA ~ "I am a very family oriented person. I enjoy more than anything being with my husband of almost 24 years and our three children, Graham, Kiera and Laine.

I am addicted to yoga!! I love it and find such calmness in it. We have recently started Stand Up Paddle boarding. What a great workout and a wonderful way to be on the water. Living in Florida, I feel so lucky to have the beach and ocean right here. We hop on the intercoastal and glide on crystal clear turquoise water. It is incredible. We see sea turtles, sting rays, fish... Amazing!"

A perfect ending to her day. A gorgeous sunset.
