Kokomo Art Association

Porcelain Artist and Teacher
Colette (Fuller) Inderhees was born, raised, and educated in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1964, shortly after marrying, she and her husband, Bob, were transferred to Kokomo, Indiana. There, they raised four sons.

She sensed a need to express what she sees non-verbally; she tried flower arranging, oil painting, custom sewing, and ceramics. In 1981, she was introduced to china painting and fell in love again. Studying with master artists such as SanDo of Tampa, Mary Ashcroft (MI), Grace Moss (NC), and others, she developed her own style and began teaching in the fall of 1984.

She taught four weekly classes and also offered special project seminars.

​

Her work has won numerous awards at the Indiana State Fair and the Indiana China Painters Conventions. Her work has been displayed at the World Organization of China Painters Museum in Oklahoma City. Some of her art has been featured in The China Painter, The Kokomo Tribune, and The Kokomo Perspective.

She is a past president of IWOCP (Indiana World Organization of China Painters) and served as treasurer for the Kokomo Art Association and Artworks Gallery.
Colette paints on porcelain, china, or any ceramic ware that can be fired in a kiln, including plates, cups, teapots, floor and wall tiles, china, toilet tank tops, and even the bathroom sink!
Colette's artwork can be purchased at the Artworks Gallery in downtown Kokomo, 210 North Main Street.
