This piece was inspired by the calming affect that sitting on a beach has on the human brain.  The piece is created by the dynamic  process of felting wool.  Adding acrylic mesh and other synthetic materials heightens the texture in the finished piece.   Industrial grade Velcro is used to attached the felted piece to a lightweight foam board.  This process keeps the fiber from sagging over time.  Once the piece (now on foam board) is attached within the gold/black floater frame giving it depth.

Known for a long time for my fabric sculptures, a few years ago I decided to move the focus of my sculpting from fabric to metal. I have had a lifelong love of metal art but never felt I knew enough about the challenging techniques of working with metal to move into that medium. Being an artist with a first career in engineering, learning is something I enjoy and so what better way to learn about working with metal than to work with it. I was lucky to have been given a workshop course in welding for artists as a birthday present from my husband. After that I was hooked on welding. There’s nothing more important to me than to work with my hands while learning something new. At the end of a good day in the studio is one that I’ve learned something and created something. I’ve made mistakes but they have resulted in many successes.
