Profile Information

Artist Statement/Bio: I weave my love of animals, words, and color into my art. I work primarily in Acryla gouache, pen, colored pencil, pastel, pages from dictionaries, and line drawings from old books and encyclopedias. In addition to my painting and collaging, I create little stuffed creatures out of socks. My artwork is an extension of my personality (and my hair): bright, energetic, imaginative, playful, and fun.

For ten years, I managed an independent bookstore in Marblehead, MA. I left this job in 2012 to participate in a three-month artist-in-residency program at Elsewhere Studios in Paonia, Colorado.

During the summer I teach art at the Summer Art Barn in Hatfield, a day camp for children ages 6-11. I am also in the process of starting an artist-in-residency program in the area.

I live in Montague with my husband, potter Isaac Jude.

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( mr.jamespollard01@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
