Psychologist Turned Craftsman Featured At Knott’s Berry Farm
Posted by: Beach Reporter In: beaches| california| shopping
One of the most interesting things at Knott’s Berry Farm is just south of Sad Eye Joe, who’s sitting in the Ghost Town Jail. It’s incredible artwork, handcrafted by a UCLA-trained psychologist who has a God-given knack for design, carving, creating and even sewing things, such as, beautiful garden planks, featuring snowmen, Santas and other Holiday themes; Princess’ tutus, fairy wings and so much more. Talented Maria Sims of Pasadena not only makes and sells her artwork year-round at Knotts but she also runs, with her mom, Edwina, the Kids Crafts Store, where excited lads and laddies create their own jewelry. ”My psychology training really helps me work with people,” said the lady, who also has a sensational singing voice. “I want to make the World a happier place through the joy that art brings to folks.”
Maria is so upbeat.. read more!
