Materialize

Hello my Name is...
Jennifer Maestre

I was born in....
Johannesburg, South Africa

I currently live in....
Concord, MA, USA

It all started when....
I decided to go back to art school after being laid-off from my job as a type designer.

Tiamat

Tiamat

Since then my work has become...
Totally other than what I studied at Mass College of Art, where I majored in Glass.

My ideal work environment...
Good lighting, a large work table, and fun music.

I spend my days/nights...
Well, I just got back from 2 weeks of commercial salmon fishing in Alaska, so right now I am just getting back on track, answering all my emails, slowly getting my Etsy shop in order, and thinking of new sculptures to make.

I'm currently under the influence of...
My cat, Musashi- he is trying to mesmerize me into playing with him.

I waste a lot of...
Whatever it is, it isn't pencils, although I do get that comment about my work, once in a while. To all of the people that think I am killing trees- pencil manufacturers grow trees to use for their pencils.

It sure would be nice to have a dumpster full of...
Wooden knitting needles, all the pencil stubs that get too short for most people to want to use anymore.

My buried treasure will consist of....

Something shiny.

and be guarded by....
Ozma

I wish more people saw the value in...
Universal Heathcare, recycling. I am always kind of shocked when I go to states that don't even recycle glass and paper.

My last word(s)...
Thanks for the interview! You have the best questionnaire ever.
