Elvenwork, the art of Katherine Dewey

Description

About the Artist

Using polymer clay, a variety of papers and wire, acrylic paints, and a friendly word processor, artist and writer Katherine Dewey creates a world which is at once drawn from myth and anchored in reality. Fired by experience, research, and a relentless imagination, she sculpts and writes about the creatures that occupy a land of indeterminate boundary and time. The results are multidimensional illustrations and tales of a world uniquely her own. Sprites, wights, goblins, and fairies coexist with mice, turtles, lizards, and toads. Myth and substance combine. A magical reality prevails. Her extensive studies and travels are represented in each sculpture she creates. If you ask her where she gets her ideas, she will look you in the eye and say they come from Peoria, the Illinois town where she was born.

2002 Teaching Schedule: Due to the work involved in completing her new book, Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay Katherine did not offer classes in 2002. She hopes to see you at Ravensdale in 2003! Visit her tips and techniques or sculpting guides web pages right here on elvenwork.com
