Childhood Art Experiences

This is a sculpture made from macrame, beads, macaroni, yarn, pipe cleaners, crayons, buttons, childlike colors, pom poms, a found object reinvented from a child’s perspective, and fascinatingly colorful keys echoing memories of the artist’s infant teething ring. This sculpture is a mobile that spins. It was created to capture early childhood art experiences.

Childhood Art Experiences

Published December 3, 2022

“Childhood” is an experimental piece created to grasp my earliest, primal childhood art experiences; ones that most powerfully formed and shaped my present creative process. This assemblage sculpture started with a list of things that formed my artistic process: things like macrame, beads, macaroni, and yarn. I am mindful of the ways capturing “Childhood” pushed the limits of every aspect of my creative process.

New Awareness is a Gift in the Present Moment

Published February 23, 2022

Jesus reached out and placed His hands on my head, and I was hopeful that He would make me better. He touched my head, my neck, my stomach: every place that was broken. I knew I would go right back to my old ways if He didn’t fix me. I ached to be healed.

Paint and Release

Published October 7, 2021

I painted these candlesticks while my mind recalled bits and pieces of memories: memories that are getting foggier and foggier. There’s something healing about painting it. When I complete a painting, I release my hold on something I was holding too tightly. Paint and release. Paint and release. With each stroke of the brush, I am aware of how peaceful I am. There is something incredibly soothing about the entire process. I am mindful of the reality that art is an incredible gift. Read this blog to learn more about the incredible gift of creative process.
