debra lake

Artist bio

My name is Debra I am 54 years old, I have never consider myself an artist more of a crafter. I have no art background, I learned how to sew when I was 12 I always liked making up my own designs making more costumes wedding and prom dresses and color guard flags. When I was in school, I never took any art classes because I was told if I could not draw it would be a waste of time. When I was in my 40’s I took an oil painting class, I loved it. Last year I happen to be in Lakeview , mi. and walked into a store called A Work of Art , she was teaching mosaic classes, now I’m hooked on glass. I have been working on this piece all winter in her shop it has been great fun and therapy, taking classes is a great way to meet and build new friendships.
