2.How did you get started with esty/pottery?
I have created pottery since 1992 . It was first a leather brown looking pottery only. It was western in style. That became boring and I started doing white clay with lots of color.
3.What is your favorite item to make?
I guess that would be my lotus bowls.
4.Now a bit personal! Tell us something about yourself.
I am an artist and potter. I received my Art Education degree from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley Colorado. I began creating these products in 1992. I have participated in Silver Dollar City's Fall Craft Show in Branson, Missouri and Joyce Meyer Ministries, in a Dream Center Christmas for inner city children. My greatest joy is creating these pieces of pottery.(and playing with my granddaughter whom I babysit a few days a week) Also, along with the creating of pottery, for 15 years,since 1992, I have been a professional social worker in the area of child welfare in the state of Kansas. I did adoptions, child abuse investigations, Family Preservation. I have since retired to a more quiet, less stressful state of life. Art and pottery are alot more fun.(source) |

Make sure to leave her some love!!
Have a FANTASTIC Saturday!!!
