Coralette has studied a variety of artistic mediums, with emphasis on printmaking and painting and has earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the the University of Nebraska in 1990. In 1991 she moved to Minnesota’s Twin Cities and taught briefly in a community education program, offering classes in paper marbling and art history while working full time as a designer for an art gallery and custom framing studio. A few years later she took a mini-course in stained glass in St. Paul and continues to work in a variety of media.
Currently Coralette’s artistic endeavors are based out of her home in St. Petersburg, FL. She started The Crafty Hag as a home business in 2004, offering hand made cards, stained glass, and other seasonally inspired items. She is currently busy creating new linocut prints and hand carved rubber stamps with printmaking being her art of choice. She is also concentrating on using recycled products as art materials in an effort to be just a little more earth friendly. You can find out about all of Coralette's public art offerings on The Crafty Hag's calendar of events page.
The Crafty Hag is also one of the two original St. Pete Craft Heroes--a dynamic creative duo who are saving the 'Burg from stale boring crafts. The Craft Heroes plan and present art and craft shows around the St. Petersburg and greater Tampa Bay Area, often as a benefit for local charities.
