About the Artist -- Ann Marie
Welcome to VitaForza.Com. Thank you so much for visiting! I'm Ann Marie Kirk, and I individually hand paint my own designs on each of the items you see on these pages. I have been in the ceramics industry for eleven years and have sold my creations in shows across California. I have spent several prior years on the Country Folk Art circuit, but now I am concentrating on the Italian Country style displayed on this site.
I studied with David Hoff, and am considered a quite accomplished handpainter and air brush artist. I am a certified user of Duncan products.
I travel to Reno annually to study advanced painting techniques, and I am well known locally as a teacher of ceramics. I also have a love of fabrics and am in the process of creating designs to compliment my tableware.
I love to travel, to cook, and to sample a variety of ethnic foods.
I take great pleasure and pride in presenting my fine tableware to you, and I hope you will enjoy having it in your home! |
