I love working with clay, wood, brass, and acrylic (and mixing materials in unique ways). I&#8217;m currently enjoying a lot of time at home with my husband, our dogs, and all my art supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What inspires you to create?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of my inspiration comes from fashion. Unique fashion on Instagram or around town inspires me to make earrings to match. I also really love to color match &#8211; when a color stands out I will mix clays until I can recreate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What advice would you give to people looking to express their creativity?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to block time to explore your creativity. Take a class if you&#8217;re unsure how you want to express your creativity! There are local classes for everything from candle making and painting to baking and jewelry making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does your art connect with people?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of my customers buy my items as gifts. I love the thought that my KC earrings are gifted as a keepsake of a fun trip to the city, or my birth month flower jewelry is gifted to new moms in the month their child was born. I hope that people where my pieces and feel connected with special people and memories.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":1040,"parent":812,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1014","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
