Glory Tacheenie - Campoy
Each day brings a new beginning, as the past becomes a memory and the future invites and promises - this moment bring the present, the past, and future together in two and three-dimensional art in visual space and time.
Paper is a wonderful, versatile, malleable, natural material for creating art. One can fold, cut, stitch, tear, glue, mold, paint, draw or print on paper. It is an exciting, challenging medium that brings me hours of fun and joy.
Acrylic paints add another liberating medium that readily translates texture, expressive colors, and meaning onto the canvas.
Found materials (rusted metal, natural, ready made are what I use to create three-dimensional art) permit me a change from working in 2-dimensional art.
My constellation of family, friends and arts groups, along with my teachers/mentors and patrons allow for me to continue creating art. Being an artist has intangible rewards and can be addictive.
