Biography:  Patty M. Sheppard earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (Missouri State University) and Master of Fine Arts (Washington University-St. Louis) degrees.  She has always enjoyed working from her small home studio.  An artist educator for the past 25 years, she is currently adjunct instructor at Saint Louis Community College-Meramec and has taught at Art Institute of St. Louis, St. Charles Community College, The St. Louis Art Museum, and Craft Alliance. Under the business name Patty Sheppard Art, she sells her work all over the world at  https://www.etsy.com/shop/pattysheppardart.

Artist Statement:  This collection highlights my nature and botanical themed pottery and tiles.  In creating and compiling the exhibit, I tried to think of pottery that would be fun to use or set the table for a spring lunch, tea time or picnic on the patio.  I also painted and glazed my own handmade tiles with spring themes botanicals.  I love the colors, flora and fauna ; this is a celebration of that theme in ceramics.
