In Colorado, creating at my little place I’ve rented close to the mountains.
My first polymer clay mosaic
Have art studio – will travel. Here’s part of my setup when I spend time at our cabin. I bring plenty of supplies for a number of creations.
Humpty Dumpty sitting on a main thoroughfare in Eureka Springs, AR – one of my favorite places for artistic inspiration.
Our annual Cousins Camp features art time and lots of it. The cousins love it!
A nook in my art studio that is heavy with supplies and one of my five Idea Boards – a very useful tool for creating.Creating is messy work – a look at my assemblage station in my studio. There are also stations for a second art piece and clay.Traveling with my art – rolling cases full of supplies are carried with me to set up a mini art studio at our cabin.
Years ago, my wall assemblages were quite different from today’s. Each year, my artwork has evolved as I learn more techniques and as my vision changes. In the beginning days of assemblage, I saw my work as a series of delightful assignments to successfully use new materials, color combinations, or my latest stash of found objects. Now I sense each step along the way, feeling the direction I’m to take making it an involved process – one that deeply appeals to me. (Note – the top two pieces were never for sale – they are among my very first designs).
Next to the entry door hangs one of my paint storage areas. Two of my three favorite paints reside here – Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays and DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics. Adjacent to my work space, sits a selection of my other favorites – Finnabair’s Art Alchemy acrylic paints, Finnabair’s Impasto paints, Golden fluid acrylics, and Finnabair’s Fluid Acrylics.
