Artist Statement:

My Simply DollFace Artwork is a reflection of myself.  I am a colorful, fun loving, whimsical, people person.  I love life, love to laugh, and love the creative process.

Shopping flea markets and antique shops to find old, worn treasures to repurpose and give them new life is my passion.  As they say, one person’s junk is another person’s treasure.

I create my art to send happy, positive messages to everyone!

Artist Biography:

I am a retired elementary art teacher and mixed media and collage artist.  I create whimsical faces and people to celebrate the lives of all of those around us.  Each piece sends a colorful message of fun, laughter, and love of life.

Searching flea markets and antique shops for old treasures to repurpose into new life is my passion.

My husband and I moved to the area a year ago.  We really enjoy the many festivals, art and craft fairs, and other activities this area provides.  Getting involved in the local art community has been a pleasurable experience.

Being a member of the Cedarburg Artists Guild has given me the opportunity to showcase my art work, the inspiration to develop new designs, and the chance to form new friendships.
