My Fantasy Tree House of Spirits
Profile Information
- Etsy shop address:
- http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=9252
- What do you sell in your Etsy shop?
- I sell my assemblage Spirit Art Dolls
- About Me:
- Although painting is my first love, assemblage and art dolls has become an essential spiritual practice. I love the process of sculpting with polymer clay and working with textiles, yarn, fibers and beading creating a context where magic begins.
- Inspirations:
- I've been inspired by many cultures where dolls were made symbolic of the sacred, full of meaning and creativity...here there is an element of reverence and solitude that guides me gently into that type of art. It is a form of meditation...a beautiful Spirit dance. They are one of a kind dolls, wrapped with soft cotton and yarn, supported by twigs, vines and mossy tree bark... using polymer clay, gems, shells, herbs, charms and jewelry findings. Some represent Angels, Spirit Guides inhabiting the forest. Others are Magical Kachina and Fetish Dolls, helpful Kitchen Witches, Divas and Goddesses... Icons of the Divine Feminine, a kind of Spirit Inspired ritualistic art from many ancient traditions.
- Favourite Fantasy Authors:
- Charles deLint, Anne Rice, Richard Bach, Isabel Allende and so many others I will run out of space, I love to read.
- Do you accept commissions/custom work?
- Yes, I am always delighted to create a special doll for anyone.

Art as Flirtation and Surrender
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.

New Year Altered Porcelain Dolls:
The new year, holding the key of abundance and prosperity. The blushing doll, colored with the rusty red of passion and creativity. The dark shadows doll symbolic of things passed and memories remembered and the new year spirit...painted green for hope, with new adventures and full of possibilities.
New Year customs and traditions that are followed today have their roots way back in the ancient societies where the number of harvests determined the number of new years they had. The Creek Indians celebrated New Year in July or August when the corn was ripe, which symbolized the completion of a year and the beginning of another. It was also encouraged to wear new clothes and to change the interiors of their houses as a symbol of renewal. The Iroquois, celebrated the New Year in January, February or March and they were the ones who started the conventional masquerades, the noise-making to welcome the New Year. It seems to me that the customs we follow today are modified versions of other ancient practices from many traditions all over the world.

Some say visionary art transcends the physical world and portrays a wider vision of mystical or spiritual awareness. For me fantasy or visionary art is a way to retreat into spaces of imaginary beauty.
I have prints, cards and gifts available in my CafePress Shop, please come to visit.
