OK - so here goes. For those of you who don't know me (which I would imagine is most of you) I have attached a few images of my latest work. I have always been drawn to the human form and that is what most informs my work. Now, my take on what constitutes the human figure can be a bit broad, but that is just part of the wonderfulness of me!

What is on her mind (ha!) |
Seriously, though, all I have ever been interested in doing is representing the human form, generally female although not exclusively, and using every kind of mixed media technique there is in the process. I bead, embroider, felt, collage, sculpt, stitch, paint, glue and embellish (to ridiculous levels!). As soon as I see some cool new technique I start thinking of ways to incorporate it into my work.
Some people get it, some don't. I have gotten every comment there is from references to voodoo dolls to tears (of joy). It is not always easy to hear, but I am working on remembering that everyone's opinion has some merit, even if it hurts.
I guess that is all part of the process.
