Frances Ozur Cole

As well as designing and creating jewelry for Aspen Tree Jewelry, I am principal designer and owner of Frances Ozur Designs, creating eclectic graphics for each client. I am active in my local Albuquerque, NM temple, Congregation Albert. In my spare time, I lobby congress on behalf of the disability community and am President of the NM chapter of The United Spinal Association.

My educational background began many years ago in Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland and continued through Art History and Graphic Design. I finished my graduate work at USC in Museology and Art History. A girl can never have too much education.

I met my husband while building aircraft simulators in California and we've followed each other around the country depending where our jobs led us. When asked, during my last high school reunion, what my greatest accomplishment was, I answered, "I have lived in all four time zones in the Continental United States."

When you come to a fork in the road: take it!
