About the Artist

Ms. Cruser, a long time Ewing resident, has long participated in Ewing Community activities with her husband Rich.   She began her artistic journey in 2014, with a desire to create a portrait of her beloved dog, Kobe.   She combined her two loves, animals and art to create custom colored pencil drawings for others.  Since then she has expanded to create one-of-a-kind mixed media pieces, all created in Paper Filigree.
