"Porcelain Art, or china painting, is a traditional form of painting with a long history in Indiana. Carrying on the traditional painting technique has been an inspiration and honor.  I can’t imagine painting something that doesn’t come from my own roots.  By roots I mean being planted firmly on the soil of the woodlands where I grew up in Missouri, to the murky bottom of Yellow Creek Lake in Northern Indiana, where I spent my childhood summers to the black-topped roads of my current home in Speedway, Indiana.  These are the places that make me search my memories.  These are the places that make me want to pick up a brush and share them with everyone."  ~ Amy B.
