Art for the Heart will focus on my experiments with different art techniques and materials. I paint primarily with alcohol inks on Claybord and sculpt with air dry, earth clays and polymer clay. I use found objects and salvaged materials for assemblages and collages. It is rare for me to miss a day crafting or making art.

Experimenting with various techniques and materials is part of the lure of art for me. I am a self-taught artist and I enjoy the process of creating - the journey - as much as the end product. I find inspiration in nature, colors, patterns, photomicrography, fractals, life experiences and the act of creating. I usually approach my artwork with an idea and find techniques and materials to capture the concept. I am currently painting with inks on various substrates including polymer clay and Claybord™. These surfaces and the inks allow for a wide range of effects that are reminiscent of flowers, sea life, microorganisms, the cosmos, and surrealistic landscapes. My mixed media works are made from found or salvaged materials. As a collector of unappreciated and seemingly useless and worthless items, I often use them in assemblage or collage. My sculptures are a variety of earth and synthetic clays. Some of the clays are fired in a kiln and some air dry while others are cured in a home oven. A few sculpting mediums are cured through a process of chemical reactions. Most of my art pieces are one-of-a-kind.

Wonderful! They remind me of enameled copper. They're really great.
Thanks, Libby. They are a lot of fun to make--but I see that they are taking me over double the time that I estimated and they are not even assembled. After working with polymer clay and having instant gratification, the two part resins seem sooooo slow. I have damaged so many pieces as I could not wait to see if they were cured!
It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy need it!!!) if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-helping eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.
About this I must say, by my own experience, that no one realy cares (maybe a few) about this apeal I make, still I believe in my Work and Dreams and thus I'll keep on apealing and searching so strong is my will.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
the yellow and orange drop shapes are divine! i really enjoy these. yum!
Oh, deliciousness!! These are phenominal!
Thanks Nicci! I am so hooked on making these things---I really don't know what I will do with all of them. I have never been a painter, but now I am really getting the bug.
