Ana Mullen has been providing a service, and opportunity to work with ceramics for over twenty years. Having been shaped by her Mothers creativity and art, along with the desire to work in an environment that welcomed her children ; In 2002, Ana was inspired to partner with another mother (and friend) to open a Paint your own Pottery studio in Pinetop AZ. called “ArtSparks” Offering a variety of projects, classes and camps mainly focused on ceramics.The studio quickly became a creative center for many, and led to teaching art in the community at White Mountain Montessori and St. Anthonys Catholic school in Show Low AZ.

The move back to Long Beach where Ana is originally from, did not stop the desire to be a part of the creative experience with others,
