Please introduce yourself and briefly describe your art.
Jenn Norpchen, gourd creations.
What led you to be an artist and to share your art in Auburn Old Town Gallery?
I moved from the Bay Area not sure if I was headed to Washington state or stay here. My friend suggested staying here for a while. I did. I volunteered at the Discovery shop and started to dabble in gourds. The Art and Chocolate Tour in Granite Bay was open for a weekend, and I decided to go. I met LoreLee Love on the tour and realized there was an art community here and suggested I check out Auburn Old Town Gallery.
