University of Arizona for fashion design,
but her parents steered her toward an
associate’s degree in business, instead.
“After two years of business col-lege,
I tried to be in the normal world,”
Tustin says. “I worked in the offices of
Price Waterhouse, Hertz Rent-A-Car, a
bank, an eyeglass distributor. None of
these jobs felt right. I started taking art
classes at night and before too long,
I decided to study ceramics at Penn
State. Finally, I felt like I fit in.”
Giving back through art is para-mount
to Tustin, who makes donor and
memorial ceramic tiles for the Lower
Cape Fear Hospice and LifeCare Center
in Wilmington for the Safe Passages
gardens, and in Whiteville with the six
Bountiful Life tile murals.
“I think I’ll always be looking for
courage to be an artist,” she says, on
the ebb and flow of creativity.
“Some days I think it’s absolutely
crazy. What an erratic profession: cre-ating
something out of nothing and
trying to make a living from the things
you make. Especially when you’re not
a realist.”
