Art work displayed in our parlor by Karen Smith during 

Logansport Art Association's Spring Art Walk

 

Karen uses the same process that Chinese artists used over 3,000 years ago,

when they created fine art on china for the Imperial Palace. Colors 

of paint are applied to the surface of china and fired in a kiln. Some of Karen's art pieces

 have been fired up to 10 times to achieve brilliant colors, textures and depth.
