Hello and welcome to the Stronghold DesignWorks website gallery. I am Kathleen Benyak, an artist and artisan jewelry maker living here near the majestic and mystical Cochise Stronghold in southeastern Arizona.

The Stronghold, an impenetrable canyon, was the refuge of Cochise the Apache leader and is said to be his final resting place. It is a sacred and beautiful place and provides inspiration to me in the works I create.
