Each studio I’ve had over the years has been a very different space. They’ve all had their own unique features and characteristics as well as something I really liked.
Renovations are still underway, and I wanted to share more about what I have planned as well as some things I learned about creating a workspace that is just right.
I love the challenge of creating detailed, three-dimensional pieces, whether it is the furry coat of a corgi or a little ant marching across the stem of a flower.
In this paper sculpture titled, “On My Soapbox,” I wanted to see if I could recreate a squirrel’s woodland scene in miniature using only paper and paint.
If you’ve been following me for awhile, you may remember seeing this little chipmunk in my large-scale paper sculpture installation. He was a part of the scene, sitting on the porch in the Victorian Country Garden scene.
Have you visited an online art gallery recently? It is wonderful that we have the ability now to visit museums in this way, in the comfort of our home during this time when we aren’t able to travel.
Looking for a fun activity that you can do with your children or grandchildren? You can enjoy an afternoon discovering nature and help them with their writing and researching skills!
This week, I thought I might share some fun facts about the installation, including how much paper it took, how many roses are in the installation and more.
When I was thinking through what I wanted to create for my large-scale paper sculpture exhibit for the Mansion at Strathmore, I felt I had to take a step back and first think about the guests that will view my art.
Because my paper sculpture animals are more fragile than many of the other pieces going into my large-scale installation, I wanted to take them separately.
Today’s story begins near the end of my process. The work in my studio is completed, and my installation is about to leave my studio and make its way to the Mansion at Strathmore.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for, Sept. 8 2020! Today is opening day of the show “Paper Works: The Art of Paper” at the Mansion at Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland.
In June, I had the opportunity to sit down with Strathmore exhibition coordinator Gabrielle Tillenburg to give viewers a little insight into my upcoming paper sculpture installation at the Paper Works show at the Mansion at Strathmore
