ABOUT THE ARTIST
Artist Name
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. Colossians 3:23
I always loved art and making things. I had planned to become an architect and design long lasting structures, but God had a different plan for me so my legacy will be my family rather than tall buildings. I do believe God made us all to be creative. Although we may not all paint like Thomas Kinkaid or photograph like Ansel Adams, we are all creative in our own ways and should have fun while we do it.
After I retired as a Legal Administrator, I became fascinated with painting on pottery. I learned and ultimately worked at The Mad Platter, a small studio in Surprise, AZ until it closed in 2018. In 2019, an unexpected opportunity came up and I soon became the owner of my own studio, Art on Fire in Peoria, AZ. We offered not only paint-your-own-pottery but clay wheels, sculpting, canvas art, paint pours, Bible Journaling and many other types of creative art.
I have since retired from studio ownership but still serve on the Executive Board for Contemporary Ceramics Studio Association [CCSA] and keep in touch with other studio owners around the country. I enjoy traveling, reading, movies, gardening and, of course, spending time with my beloved husband, Fred, and my family.
