About the Artist:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For as long ago as I can remember, art has always fascinated me.  As I grew, color and texture filled my mind with wonder and excitement.   With a background in Graphic Arts, my interests eventually turned to the dimensional arts and a love of sculpting evolved. Once I was introduced to the world of polymers in 1988,  I knew I had  found the most fascinating medium!  Oh, what possibilities!

In 1994 my work was licensed into reproduction with the introduction of my first gift lines, "Happy Habits" the funny little nuns and "Li'l Bits", the little children with the big hats.  Both lines were highly sought by collectors and were sold nationwide until 2000.  In 2002 a new gift line company licensed several additional designs for me and Heavenly Habits,  Heaven Sent,  Earth Angels, and Whispering Wings were born.  More information about these gift lines is available on my website.

For the past 20 years I have taught seminars in polymer clay sculpting to young and young at heart. My work has been featured on television, in newspaper articles, magazines and ads for polymer products. I have also written several instructional articles as useful teaching aids for companies and publications. Without the interest and support from you, the collector, none of this would be possible. I will be forever grateful for the wonderful opportunities that have graced my life.    
  Working from my home studio,  where I sometimes catch myself day-dreaming and enjoying a colorful view of one of our many gardens, I work in quiet solitude, sculpting my pieces from start to finish without the use of any molds or other sculpting aids.  My tools are simple; I use a Quikut knife, darning and knitting needles and paint brushes for smoothing the clay. Filbert brushes are my favorite...   I say I work alone, but really, with all these little personalities coming to life right there on my desk, how can I be? They amuse me; they entertain me.  Sometimes, most  times, they melt my heart..... Born and raised in the Midwest, we continue to live here in "God's Country". It is beautiful and so very peaceful here among the towering pines. The kids are grown and now my loving husband and I get to enjoy the wonderful antics of the grandkids.  They are most certainly a constant source of entertainment and inspiration!!   I cannot express the sheer pleasure I feel when a collector tells me one of my creations has brought them joy. That they will smile when they look into a fairy's sweet (or sometimes mischievous!) face, or as they hold a little nun in their hand perhaps a tear fills their eye or a little flutter rises in their heart from a memory stirred, then I know I have reached my goal.   Ahh, life is good...and I am blessed. In youth I took it for granted; but now I do not, I know I have been graced with a gift--and it is my pleasure to share it with you. It is my hope that one of my 'little people' will bring a smile to your face--and if it does, my job is done, and I thank you. |
