This artist uses different types of reclaimed wood to make her sculptures. Click this link to see more of her works. After you have viewed her works, answer the following:
~How long do you think the artist spends on one piece? Think about the time it takes to acquire the wood and other elements she uses.
~This artist mentions her two passions coming together and the outcome is her artwork. Do you think an artist needs to be passionate about their work to make it art? Do you think it would be easier or more difficult for an artist to only work with a certain subject matter~even if they were passionate about it? Ex: If you were an artist who loved dogs and you only made paintings of dogs, and they were GREAT paintings; do you think that would be easier or harder (than being able to work with any subject)? Why or why not? Journal your thoughts in your sketchbook.
