Chris discovered the capacity of polymer clay texture, shapes and color for making unique durable art while exploring modern clays. Her handcrafted veneers encase functional pieces, like pens and water bottles.

To create her veneers Chris uses a variety of processes adapted to polymer clay. Distressing, embossing or carving layers of alternated colors and transfering images. Processes need tools for cutting and carving but especially dough rollers, an extruder and silkscreens.

She designs and creates jewelry, mini-kaleidoscopes and other small items suitable for wearing and gifting. You may find random bees in her work. Chris uses them to honor her family name which means beekeeper in Polish - But most of all they are fun.

Chris began working in polymer clay about 2007. She studied Graphic Design and holds a Master of Arts in Media Communication and is a member of the Kentucky Tennessee Polymer Clay Guild.
