Crossin' The Line (Meeting the after  life head on).

This free standing piece measures 12 x 16 inches with a depth of approximately 17 inches. This humorous drive on the wild side is a complete manufacture of found pieces of costume jewelry, an abandoned Stuart Little remote control car, and cast off skate board wheels found in the streets of old Bisbee, AZ. Not another one like it.

LIFE AS AN ARTIST
Did you choose ART or did it choose you?  In the course of our lives we have occasion to try on many shoes, as in possible vocations.  Perhaps like myself over time you have come to find only one pair that didn't pinch your toes.  This path unwinding that makes up our days is one of varied terrain. You will have need of the most comfortable shoes.  An ARTist is one who must work twice ,even three times as hard and travel further than what a good many folks would do. This done just to reach some level of validation in their eyes.  This is the journey. It's the path that I travel, and my life has been richly rewarded in this choice. NO,not outside in the fields of illusion. Here inside where I go to get the very best of myself to share with all of you. This is what ART has chosen. and I'm honored that it has chosen me.

 

Dina is all spiffed up and ready to go to the Holiday ARTE fiesta ! Hope to see you there in support of local Artists ! Please drop by and see the unique & creative offerings from the shop at Rancho Milagrito as well as the very best hand made offerings of the Tucson Valley's creative best!
