I am Ronda Crossland, the owner. I enjoyed art all throughout school. During my years at Lafayette High School I took several art electives including photography, ceramics, and drawing. After graduation I attended Missouri Western State University where I again took several art courses including photography, ceramics, drawing, painting, and sculpture. After two years, I transferred to Central Missouri State University to finish my degree. My course of study was more focused on Interior Design, and in 1992 I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Interior Design. During my time at UCM I included even more art courses. Again I took several ceramic courses, print making, and more drawing courses. After graduating I began my career in interior design where I held positions as a designer until recently.

I am an active member of the Atchison Community. I am an Ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce, a project leader for the Atchison Shamrock 4-H club, a board member for the Atchison Art Assocaition and Boys and Girls Club of Atchison. I  started up and ran the Atchison Home & Garden Show for six years. I am also a member of the Atchison Art Association.
