Your Instructor
Juanita has been working and exploring as a sculptor for over 25 years, her primary insight and focus has been the human form. Her work has always embodied a whimsical and spiritual quality so the natural evolution into the wonderful world of puppet building and performance seemed inevitable.
She first began working in papier-mâché finding the medium to be amazingly versatile. She has branched off into casting, wood working and felting as the demands of creating various puppets brings so many mediums together. Her inspiration comes from her busy life around her, nursing in women’s health for 32 years and raising her children.
