I can never just stick to one thing, one art form, one medium, one job, one home. I am a wanderer with a wild, gypsy heart. However, I do return to certain themes in my artwork over and over again.
Art is the one and only constant in my life. Over the past 10 years I have become somewhat obsessed with polymer clay. I joined a guild and have learned so much from fellow members and artist-instructors that we have hired to teach.
I first started making polymer clay dolls and figurines 25 years ago but for more that 10 years I did not do anything else with it.
Since Joining the guild, Clayville California, I have branched out in so many directions. There were times, whole years, that I did nothing but explore new techniques. I am happy to say that I finally feel like I have enough “practice” under my belt that I can actually complete some projects that I am happy with. It’s been a long time coming.
