Lady of the Sea

I love mermaids. A lot. Okay, you might as well know, I AM a mermaid. This realization came to me in the Caribbean; St. Thomas, to be exact. I was snorkeling for the first time, floating on top of the water, gently splashing my fins, at one with the fishes. It was pure magic. So, given my natural aquatic background, it makes perfect sense that mermaids are a recurring theme in my artwork.

This fiber mache piece was a class project in Whitney's Drawing (and everything else) class at CBC in 2001. It is much like paper mache, but 3 dimensional. This was also my first attempt at air brush. The piece was entered in the Juried Art Show. It didn't win any ribbons.
