ABOUT ME

YOUNG BEGINNINGS-YOUTHFUL DREAMS

Art and sports. Those were my favorite subjects in high school - that and my boyfriend. One semester seemed to be all it took to imprint my love of ceramics that lasted the rest of my life. 

40 some-odd years later, in my late 50’s, I re-discovered the passion of creating with clay.                                           

I have turned my hobby into a full-time job – the best “job” I’ve ever had. My work is created in my home studio in Yorba Linda, in Southern California. I’ve confiscated half of the garage and left the other half for my husband - that guy who was my boyfriend in high school.

I created my studio name “CruzinArt Cermics” by combining my married name, Cruz - with my maiden name, Arter – and viola.
