Gate Goggles: "Creativity is intelligence having fun." - A. Einstein

About this piece: My layered fabric art is purely authentic using original techniques to create lasting, visually inspiring pieces. Anyone who has been around animals of any kind knows how animated they can be. We also know to look into their eyes if we want to communicate with their soul. I happen to wear eyeglasses and have since fourth grade. As a child, I found them to be a nuisance, getting in the way all the time. I have grown to accept them and now consider them a fashion statement --- a way of expressing my personality. This rendition of a photo depicts the humorous character of a goofy Labrador Retriever. All because it looks like she is wearing spectacles! I hope this make you chuckle!

Where they find inspiration: I find inspiration in photography which has captured moments of whimsy in animals, people, and places. Zooming into the essence of the subject, or a tiny, unexpected, detail that delights the audience is the gift that I find joy in sharing.
