May 6, 2024 6:30-8pm CST – Lee Ann King
Lee Ann will speak about "how my art has evolved throughout my life and career, and how and why I opened my store. Then, of course, what creative fires both drives me and soothes my soul… a lovely addiction in it’s own right."
She writes:
I’ve always loved beautiful things. Preschool, shiny objects fascinated me… that’s another story. Later, 1940 movies, with all the glitz, glamour and fabulous costumes and hair designs, were so intriguing to me…I thought I wanted a piece of that. Things changed. Met a guy and got married. But not loosing my entire dream, together we opened a salon and spa. Did that for 40 years. All the while I was involved with other forms of art, which eventually led me into beading and another career and business venture. I am a self taught beader. I love the freedom it allows me. And… I’m still that preschooler…Still love all that glitz and glamour.
