What mediums do you prefer to work in?
Oh I dabble in pretty much all mediums but seem to have a special affinity to paper arts.
Who are your favorite artists and why do they inspire you?
John Waterhouse - I just look at his work and want to BE the women in them so much of the time!
Paul Peel - I love the soft, cozy feeling his paintings evoke.
Claudine Hellmuth - Her collages always make me think of my grandma. They have a retro feel to them and the colours are often colours I would see in Grandma's house. They're always so cheerful and happy and they make me smile.
Lucy Ogletree - a local folk artist - I have many of her prints hanging up in my house. I love the down home simple life kind of feel they have to them.
Suzi Blu - she has such a whimsical fantasy style that I love. I feel like she lives in some sort of play house, surrounded by bright colours, and oversized children's furniture. I think of fairies and mermaids and gypsies when I think of Suzi...all those things I dreamed about when I was a little girl, she brings back to life for me!
What gives you inspiration?
My daughter. Nature. The colour and shape and design I see all around me even living in the city. Reading. Music. My family. Our pets. My home. Chatting with other creative soulmates. Creative EdVentures WebTV! LIFE!
