Mary Jo Krolewski is a Martha Stewart protege who, instead of following a modeling career, as Martha did, took a different path to baking and crafting excellence. Her journey first led her to a degree in Mechanical Engineering, from Cornell University, because it was easy; and then to a degree in Energy Policy from the University of Pennsylvania. Because she is such a do-gooder, Mary Jo eschewed careers in military weapons design, consulting, and anything that involved terra-exploitation; instead taking a job with the Environmental Protection Agency, first as a regulator of hazardous waste management, then as a regulator of power plant emissions. Although she maintains a deep respect for the Agency's career employees and the work they do, the frequent 80 hour work-weeks and all-nighters that resulted in less than adequate follow through by political appointees finally drove her to desire a life of baking cookies, playing with fabric, and cross-country skiing. Although Mary Jo currently maintains a day job that involves espousing her expertise for the benefit of Vermont electric utility rate payers, by night she continues to develop a portfolio of work that pays homage to Claus Oldenburg, Martha Stewart, Marcel Duchamp, and Judy Rosenberg.
