She made some beautiful pieces that we have, and she also went to craft shows and sold pieces. 鈥淪he instilled that artistic spirit in me and my brothers as well. George does woodworking. Jay is a potter and a glass blower. I do quilting and other fabric art. The art was always there. We were always encouraged to experiment and try new things. 鈥淢y mom鈥檚 other love was students. She loved teaching kids and seeing them learn, so it seemed like a perfect fit to combine her two passions by Art was really her love.
