| Introduction | I see design in everything. I love pattern design, creating 2000+. I create fine art in multiple mediums, and my "toolbox" is a room filled with art materials, substrates, tools and etc. I recycled before it was so popularly deemed - not to save the planet (though not a bad thing), it just makes sense to do so. In so doing, I create unique art, the supplies of which couldn't be bought new in a store. My aim with this blog, is to begin to document the many discoveries and techniques I've developed along the way, while also showing the products that result. You will see, that - nothing is safe around me; if it's not pinned down, I'll paint or design on it. I am so busy "thinking out of the box" that I don't sometimes see the obvious intended use for things 'in the box'. Please feel free to comment, share ideas, give me feedback, and don't be afraid to state the obvious, because I may not see it! Hope you enjoy these entries, if you'd like, you may take my art home with you and enjoy it if my muse happens to also meet yours! |
| Interests | I create art! Every day, all day, no exaggeration. I beat back the dishes and laundry when they become cumbersome. So my interests are pattern design, fine art and creating new techniques. |
| Favorite Movies | My Dinner with Andre, The Breakfast Club, Pollock, The Big Chill, Frita, Basquiat, etc.! |
| Favorite Music | Stevie Wonder, Santana, and lots of new stuff I cannot identify but truly enjoy! I love my son's 'foreign' music, French rap, Scottish modern music, Arabic music, Spanish guitar, Japanese modern music, etc., etc. |
| Favorite Books | The Little Prince, The War of Art, Color Drawing, Pebble Mosaic, A Humument, Traditional Mehndi Designs, The Art of the Huichol Indians, Fernand Leger, Keith Herring, etc.! |
Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
The statue should be my urn, on it will be stated "She didn't know where she was going, but she got there fast!" It's true in life (quite literally) and the afterlife!
