Hi there!
My name is Kristin. I am a Mom to 2 girls who keep me very busy and a wife to my husband of 12 years. I began painting as a hobby and it grew and grew. I love to experiment with color, although blue is my favorite. :)

I used to work in Child Protective Services before I had kids of my own. Now I am trying to make a living with my art. This is me, working on my dream.

I began creating my vases in September 2010. I use a stucco and concrete technique, which I apply to glass vases. I am really drawn to the rustic stone look of my vases. When I sell them in person, I often get asked.. "what is this? Is this Ceramic? Is this pottery?" Neither! I am currently experimenting with other home decor, so I welcome you back in the future to see what is next!

I hope the love for what I do comes across in my shop and I hope you will find something that you will want to call your own or gift to someone you love.

I have recently encouraged my husband to start a shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/BobbyRocks
to showcase his hobby. I am his shop photographer! :)

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile page and take care,

Kristin
