have always been both intrigued and fascinated with
manmade human forms, starting as a child with dolls.
36 years ago I created a project that involved 8 life
sized soft sculptures of people. Each was fashioned after
different people involved in my life. They were constructed
in a variety of colors relating to the persons personality.
The group began the 1st generation’s adventure. When they were
assembled for Gallery shows the group sat at a kitchen table (brought
from my home) in the center of the Gallery space. The walls of the
space were covered in the snapshots capturing the activities of their
daily lives. All that remains of the 1st generation are the family photos
of the lives they led. Much like what is left of any of us after we are
gone.
The 1st generation led me into creating a line of jewelry. Casanna
Design featured hand carved dancer body parts that were assembled
in a puppet like fashion. I then went on to work restoring dolls and
creating doll houses. The doll houses led me into the field of interior
design. As an interior decorator I was being asked by clients to see
through their eyes what they wished to create, it is a very intimate
profession.
In 2009 I was diagnosed with Cancer and had to step out of the
professional world. I chronicled the year long event with drawing/
watercolor imagery. The series “My trip to the Doctor” lead me back to
the world fine art.
