The Making of Art Angels

My Art Angels are born from my new work, segments from my original paintings have been transferred to canvas, double sided to “stuff” them a bit and add dimension so they are not flat like a drawing or painting. Their simple body forms are made from antique linen, the clothing details and wings formed from the bits and pieces that filled my work table… antique linens, silks, canvas, laces, textiles, torn paper, stitchery and tiny treasures… all over painted so that the colors are as I want them, like a painting. I do not make dolls, I do not know how to sew, I do not seek perfection. I may never make another one again but the angels are here now.
