I began working with paper Mache around 2015. I was searching for a school project and remembered a guy Dan Reeder, from years ago who published a book on Paper Mache monsters. ( My mother and myself had made a few of these creations when I was in my 20’s) I looked him up online and saw he had moved into dragons. After working on the school project, I became fascinated in making dragons, masks and monsters and, of course made about a million of them!

Paper Mache works including ‘Bird Woman’ and a drawing around 2020
I made some human-sized pieces then moved into smaller works with ‘riders’ that began my exploration with air-dry and polymer clays as I wanted to get smaller and more elegant.
