Dystini is a native of Sheboygan, WI. She's dabbled in many art forms throughout life and has finally found a home with polymer clay. She's participated in several exhibitions at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, most recently in the juried show "Eight Counties."

"I create because I must." she says. "It's my passion, my sanity. I can't imagine not being creative." Dystini draws her inspiration from many sources including tattoo flash, computer animation short films and her garden.

Polymer clay is a "plastic" clay with a low firing temp. It comes in many colors that can be mixed to create new colors and is very versatile. It's very durable and long lasting. It can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth but should not be soaked in water as this will ruin the finish. Dystini uses only artist grade polymer clay and other materials.
