Questions

What mediums do you prefer to work in?

It depends on my mood, and my muse. Over the past few years, I have reclaimed my love for pencils. When restoring an old doll, high grade acrylic paint.

Who are your favorite artists and why do they inspire you?

Although I have an old master in my heart and soul, Dali, Spooky Hollow, Robert Lee, Jillian Crider, Mary Vogel, Noel Cruz, Laurie Everton, JustCreations, Cindy Lorimer, Nicole West, Eneida Rosa, and many, many, more artists inspire me for their work reflects that they put their heart in what they do.

What gives you inspiration?

It is hard to describe what inspires me. It is a hand, eye, mind, heart, and soul that works together to inspire that ultimate drive to create, whether it means creating a one of a kind work of art, or creating the means and a market that will recognize the works of my fellow artists who are worthy of an audiance and a following. However, when ever I see an old Ideal Tammy Doll, the muse inspires me to create and do something good.
