The Golden Arches

Papier-Maché

20 x 20.5 x 2"

$189

The golden arches take me back to my childhood on a hot summer day when times were simpler and I had the freedom to roam... sometimes not returning home until sundown. I loved biking to McDonald's during Monopoly season. I couldn't wait to peel off those stickers from my cup and fries.

Artist Statement:

Can someone who works with papier-mache call herself an artist?  I believe that I can… I am using my imagination, drawing shapes, experimenting with color and learning about paint, all while using different materials to construct whimsical designs.  What I create continues to evolve and that is what I love about this medium.  Each design is formed using recycled cardboard and plastic bags, blowing the earth a kiss each time. 

I hope that what I create sparks joy, and brings a little lightheartedness into this world.
