Just finished reading all three of Julia Cameron's Artist Way books and have been sharing an on line blog with 19 women and we are now working with the Sound of Paper. I also have been dabbling in to REX RAY's book about collage works he's done.

I watch alot of movies, but grown out of the scary ones.

I'm a Collage and papermaking artist. I also teach and demo's on Collage and papermaking. I do outdoor fairs and I'm building up the courage to start seeking galleries. But I'm doing pretty good with the little local cafe and artist guilds and leagues. I enjoy my walks in the woods for meditation in motions. I have 4 teens still living at home 2 in college and 2 soon to be. The Homestead is a busy place and loving every minute of it.
My website is at mochahost
My personal blog is blogger

What is your Teaching Philosophy?
My philosophy as an art instructor is to help student understand making art is a process and that through the process they will be exploring, experimenting, evolving and honing in on their own visual perspective of the world around them. I strongly feel art is about events happening in our every day lives and to capture that emotion, sound, color, taste, texture and perspective of your view is what becomes the artist's challenge, to seek and express. So I hope that I can inspire my students to do just that.

people who complain alot, are negetive and gossip.

Walking in the woods, resale shoppping, and hitting the dollar stores.

For all that might be interested,


I'll be teaching a 2 day Compositional Collage Summer Workshop at LaGrange Art League, LaGrange IL.  Friday June 20th and Saturday June 21st, from 9:30-4:00 each day if interested and in the area see website for more details.  www.lagrangeartleague.org.


The first day will be about the paper, what do with the paper to prepare it for collage. Lots of good old fashion fun of experimenting with different tecniques and learning about image transfers. Second day we will work up to the main application of the use of a heat seal iron which is a wonderful way to apply the collage paper to uptain a smooth even surface and really get the papers to glue down.

Laura4, Thank you for paying me a visit.  I love visitors mainly because it gives me an easy excuse to leave home and visit.  Your words are kind.  I thoroughly enjoyed your work too. Very expertly executed and just gorgeous use of space, design and color.  I will be back to visit again.

Laura, that's cool that someone turned the truck into a show worthy vehicle. I have to  admit though I can relate to appreciating the beauty of patina and rust on a vehicle as it sits. I live on my great grandfather's farm and there is an old '49 Fleetline that sits in the woods. I have used it for inspiration in a lot of my work!

Wow, laura, love your work - so very creative.  I see that you appreciate crows too. I love your Boston Terrier. I used to have one.  Thanks for your kind comments. Talk at you soon.  Sue
