My name is Maria Teresa Amburn, and I live in Port Orchard, WA.
​
It gives me joy to be in my craft room, letting my imagination get the best of me. I currently have been working with mixed media to create small wall art pieces that are so much fun to make. There are no rules when I start to play with so many different items and colors to produce these compact wall hangings.
​
Since my late forties, I have been taking classes in acrylics, watercolors, silk painting, drawing and one mosaic class that was the beginning of my exploration of that art form. Oh, my, I love making mosaic pieces.
I am still learning, experimenting, and allowing myself to make mistakes and to keep on going! My passion is starting with a blank slate and challenging myself to create something pleasing to my eyes. Its creativity that feeds my soul!
