![]() Increasingly I’m experimenting with full-fledged 3D media-using dolls or stuffed animals that I make and then pose in small theater-like sets that I also construct. ![]() One of my biggest challenges is making things stay together! I love paper, fabric, yarn, wire, clay, interesting natural objects. Kind of like a sculpture, but squashed onto a board. Those are fancy terms for simple ideas: first, I make my art from all sorts of different stuff, some of it real art supplies, but much of it odds and ends I’ve scavenged from my house and yard or rescued from the neighbors’ trash and second, my finished work sticks out from a flat background. My artwork is mostly mixed-media bas-relief. I get my ideas from memories of my own childhood or my kids’ childhoods, from snippets of overheard conversation, from things I see or read, from folks I meet and talk with. I like to write stories that make people laugh-and connect with something important about themselves or others. ![]() And certain other days, when I’m very, very busy. (And all too often in the process of making those things, a sticky mess.) I like to make all kinds of things-stories, pictures, teeny-weeny-tiny stuff, pumpkin bread, people happy. ![]()
