Paper Cut made for WSKG Public Television. "FOLK ARTISTS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER"
 |
| This whole crew of people came from WSKG TV and filmed me as I made a paper cutting. My work was in a 3 year show which traveled around New York State major museums. I was one of six artists whose art was shown. We even went to Albany, NY for a show; all of us doing demonstrations and talking about our art. |
Wycinanka..."FELICIA'S GARDEN"
When I started cutting this paper cut, I
made some of the big flowers and glued them on the background. At this
point I became very frustrated and didn't like the piece. I was going
to tear it up and throw it away. You see, I am a very "symmetrical"
person and this cutting was all over the place. It really bothered me!
Jake told me to stop, walk away, and look at it again another day.
After that, the next day I was able to continue working on it until it
was finished. This Wycinanka received "BEST IN SHOW" at Da Vinci Art
Alliance in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The show was called "CUT IT
OUT" and curated by Dr. Debbie Miller. I was very happy that I finished
my wycinanka and won a fantastic prize!
