I am an artist based in Eagle Creek, Oregon, and have been producing art professionally for over 30 years. There are several different mediums that I work with; papier mache’, paint, oil clay, bronze, pen and pencil. My artwork ranges from quiet and contemplative pieces, to work portraying the more exuberant and joyful side of life. I like to paint people, plants, birds… I like music and movement. I keep working until the piece feels ‘true’ to me.
I have displayed my artwork at the Oregon Country Fair since 1979. The free, creative spirit of the fair has had a definite influence on me and what I do as an artist. Originally I sold papier mache’ in the form of Peculiar Pinatas, and gradually moved toward more sculptural pieces, many incorporating natural objects such as sticks, vines and moss.
