Rita is a native Texan from El Paso.  She was born
with the Muscalaro Apache heritage.  Rita started
painting when she was 12 years old and hasn't
stopped since!  She has been selling her award
winning items for the last 20 years.  Some of her
items consist of feathers, bones, beads, and other
non-ceramic items.  Her influences range from
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and California.

While her passion is Native American jewelry and
Southwest ceramic, she has recently added holiday
pieces to her collections.  Since everything Rita
makes is all done by hand, no two pieces are exactly
alike.  Examples of her pieces can be viewed the left
of this page.
"Flying Cat Productions"

Being a "cat person" is just part of her personality,
so what makes more sense then to incorporate the
warm and fuzzy creatures in her work?  Susan likes
to use recycled items with her candle holders.

By using these natural materials with a mixture of
textures and colors, this allows her items to each
have a flare of whimsical as well as the unexpected!
