That's a good question. It took me a while to find a label that matched my work, but a visit to the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft made me feel right at home! Contemporary Craft artists produce objects of art made primarily from craft materials: clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood or found/recycled materials. In my case, the "recycled material" is paper. Tissue paper (think birthday parties and holiday gift bags) and/or packaging paper (often via Amazon!) are found in all of my work of this genre.
The subject matter is usually based in nature. My style tends to live somewhere between Impressionistic and Expressionistic. What's the difference?
While the works are based on viewing the real world, an impressionistic approach recreates that view as if I had only glanced at it for a moment. You won't find realistic detail here, but the impression of the objects through color, light and texture.
Expressionism is directly focused on an emotional response to the real world. The resulting piece is much more abstract, and may not look at all like the object or event that inspired the work.
My studio! Tissue Paper collection
I've been making art of one kind or another for as long as I can remember; but until a couple of years ago, my art took a back seat to other "real" jobs. Ironically, the reality is that I AM an artist, and making art is the passion that drives my days. So now, my "real" job finally matches my real self.
Like most, I started with drawing, then on to painting, and then exploring various mediums over the years. I earned a BA in Studio Fine Arts along the way. That winding path has taken me to my current focus - Contemporary Craft. I have always been fascinated with texture, and am endlessly inspired by the shapes and surfaces - a sort of visual rhythm - found in nature.
Almost all of my work involves paper and up-cycled materials. I hate waste, and enjoy the challenge of making art with whatever I have on hand at the time. When I need to replenish stock, I start with our local re-use center. I take materials that have traditionally been used for another purpose in the home and change their destiny.
