Ever wonder how an artist becomes an artist? Why they make art? Where they get their
inspiration and what you’ll see when you visit their studio?
Here’s your chance to get find out.
Why
are you an artist?
“I enjoy using the photographs that I've taken over a
lifetime and repurposing them into modern images for cards and collages. One of
my greatest inspirations is my daughter, a professional artist who expresses
her creativity in wonderful ways.”
What weird and different material or
technique do you use?
“I use traditional quilting patterns and techniques as
well as my own abstract versions to collage pieces of my past photographs
together.”
What inspires you and how does that come
through your art?
“The same love for achieving interesting composition in
my original photographs inspires me to achieve the same effect in my art, while
creating something new.”
When people come to your studio, what will
they see you doing …what part of your process?
“I have just completed a new
collaged holiday greeting card. Guests will be able to see
examples of my process towards making this card as well as the finished product,
from its initial layout.”
What’s your favorite part of your process?
“Combining parts of entire photographs of mine to produce
unique designs is my favorite part of my artistic process.”
