Flagstaff, AZ: Congratulations to one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants - El Capitan Fresh Mexican Grill for being voted Best Salsa and Best Tacos in the latest edition of Best of NAU.

The NAU Lumberjack runs this survey every year, and encourages the local Flagstaff community, students, faculty & staff to vote on their favorites.

Of course, we also love El Capitan, and try to make it over regularly for a fresh & delicious Mexican feast!

Flagstaff, AZ: The inspiration for what I do comes from an appreciation for beauty
found in the rich color variations and original design patterns of ethnic
cultures, nature, and every day observations.

My Persian heritage along with years spent living in and visiting
countries such as Iran, Egypt, Spain, and Greece gave me the
opportunity to observe and gather much of the influence seen in my
jewelry. Flagstaff, Arizona, my current home, is also a source of
constant inspiration - many aspects of which are reflected in my work.

My jewelry showcases beads, glass, pottery, wire, silver, and copper in
such a way as to capture the utmost beauty of its parts.

Thank you for your interest, Nadia Sperry
