"American Girl, Dear Life" -  Having a series of circus performers and tents on my mind, while in line at a shop I browsed a book, and saw an image of a fashion model dropping from a parachute, and voila!  the parachute echoed the buoy form, and my circus girl would look great on the handle.  I whittled away a bit of a form and then painted her image. I am inspired by The Flying Wallendas Family Circus, and old fashioned circus costumes and tents. Stories are the backdrop for my process, books on CDs accompany me in my studio. The materials are Mixed Media.
