Sharon and Larry were both widowed in 2022. As they navigated their personal loss and grief, they found their way to each other.
Together they share a love of animals, nature, and art — and combined, they create beautiful gifts and works of art. Sharon’s art is available at Tortilla Flat and Casa de Baca Studios, and items featuring her art are also available for purchase online. If you are interested in purchasing Larry’s cabochons and/or jewelry, please contact them — wholesale inquiries are welcome.
About Sharon:
A California native born in 1951, Sharon grew up in Northern California. A city girl at heart, she developed a love of animals, nature, and rock collecting from an early age. Creative by nature, she excelled in art throughout her school years. Sharon has three adult children and is blessed with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
About Larry:
Larry was born in 1951 in Washington State, where he spent most of his life. A proud country boy at heart, he served in the Marines, and after his service he spent over 30 years working in the newspaper industry. A hard worker, he worked his way up from entry-level positions into management. Larry has two adult children and three grandchildren.
