Bugs and Beauty

Michelle Allen

The time has come for you to decide, beauty or intrigue. Let this piece reflect the imagination of your inner child. My focus will be to teach some unique painting and finishing techniques, along with the process of gel image transfer. I will guide you through the steps of using cement and other sculpting materials to bring your beauties and bugs to life. We will adorn the creations with bits of fabric, beads, copper and wood, but the possibilities are endless.

I have never found anything completely flawless in this life and yet there is beauty everywhere I turn. I love the imperfect, slightly eccentric, witty quality of the world I see around me. It’s the unpredictability of even the most mundane things that I try to recreate in my art. Often, if something seems too perfect, I will skew it towards the unrealistic to capture the essence of a whim. Although the pieces I design are practical, my hope is that my art will never become so serious that I betray the uniqueness that inspires me.
