I have always enjoyed doing creative things. Both of my parents were creative and frequently involved in artistic endeavors. Because of them, I have many heirloom treasures that came from their own hands and I'd say they were my inspiration to try a variety of artistic projects. I especially like to work with old papers in my collage -- recycling images into a new life. With my sculptures I tend towards Christmas figures, farm animals and miniature houses. Basically, I will try almost any kind of art project at least once.
My favorite medium is decoupage. For those unfamiliar with decoupage, it involves gluing images onto an object, then covering it with layers of varnish or a sealer to create an almost smooth surface.
