Kellie D. Robinson: Warm Welcome
from Alaskan Arts Community
Kellie Robinson started working in polymer
clay about seven years ago. Inspired by a demonstration she saw
on TV, she bought some materials and was hooked right away. She’d
tried many artistic pursuits throughout her life, but says none
capture her imagination the way polymer clay does.
Her new passion would play a pivotal and important role in her
life.
Robinson moved from El Paso, Texas,
to Anchorage, Alaska, in 1999 and found a strong support system
of other Alaskan polymer
clay artists online.
She says finding that group changed her work, and her life. Another
Alaskan polymer clay artist encouraged her to show her work professionally
about two years ago. The two have forged a friendship, and often
participate in craft shows together. Find out more about Kellie
Robinson, and her business, Kellie’s Klay,click HERE. |
