Victoria Skirpa makes stunning sculptures and covetable jewelry from her one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lake Merritt. After all, the lake is known as "the jewel of Oakland," and Victoria's apartment, location, and beautiful jewelry (she's having a special

What do you do when you've been priced out of your New York apartment? Well, if you're playwright Brooke Berman, you translate the unpleasant experience into artistic expression.
