Is it safe to say I have several "favorite" forms of art I love creating? I hope so, because this is the case with ME! I LOVE creating wall art, art dolls, needle crafted art, clay sculptures, rock painting, etc. I love line, form, and Color, yes! If I Had to name, let’s say 3 types of art I enjoy creating, it would be that involving Drawing, Painting, And Sewing all in one! Examples: Art Dolls, Hand-stitched Bags, (even Copper wire jewelry). People always ask me, "Where do you find the time"?!!

I find inspiration for my artistic endeavors mostly from my imagination. It’s called "Stream of Consciousness" creating. Taking Hannah Bunzey’s class “Introduction to Prismacolor Markers” clarified and gave definition to what I was feeling inside. I have looked at, let’s say a pretty flower, and images in my mind may be spurred on from said flower. I will use reference images when I want to draw something from real life, like the positioning of the fingers and hands when performing an action.

I would travel to Egypt and climb whatever pyramid(s) I could myself, then create some fantastic art from those experiences! I would visit Bali and India for their spiritual appeal. I would then turn my entire attic into a studio and install lots of windows, working in natural lighting. I would then, with whatever money was left, buy all kinds of art supplies & tools (like the entire line of Copic alcohol markers I’m into right now) to finish fleshing out my dream studio, if you will indulge me…
