Myra Scholze was born and raised in Kodiak, Alaska. When she’s not creating, she is often chasing her pint-sized dogs down beaches and up mountains, gardening, or curled up with a book. She enjoys ceramics, painting, drawing, sewing, writing, and teaching art classes. Myra describes herself as independent, resilient, and determined, and her goal for this year is to find peace in the present.
