Veronica's lifelong pursuit of "learning to see" led her through diverse artistic paths, from metals and ceramics at OPRFHS to studies at Columbia College and SAIC. She honed her skills in painting, photography, and sculpture, collaborating with artists and exhibiting nationally. With over 20 years of teaching jewelry and metals, she fostered small studio relationships. Despite success, she closed her business to explore collage, clay, and prop-making for TV. Veronica's recreations for photographer Sandro Miller garnered international acclaim. Post-Covid, she refocused on ceramics, combining hand-building and throwing techniques, influenced by nature. Often found in Oak Park, she gathers inspiration for her ongoing projects.
