Scranton, SC
My name is Brenda Bazen and I'm a self-taught rug hooker since 2009.
I was born in the state of Maine.
Graduate - Waterville Sr. High in Waterville, Maine
Clubs and organizations: Business Leader of America, Cheerleader, Drill Team and Art Club.
Worked during high school in a local hospital as a ward secretary and after graduation moved to North Carolina to work and attend college.
My husband of 48 years is a native of Scranton, S. C. We raised our daughter and son in Lake City, S. C. and have worked in the local area. I have worked in the medical profession as a manager and supervisor for 35 years until my retirement five years ago.
During all my years I have always liked art in one form or another. I have used oil paints, pastels, charcoal and pencil. At one time I did cross-stitch as it was a more versatile means of expressing art. During a visit to Maine in 2009, I discovered another form of art (rug hooking) and I have been hooked ever since.
