Metals, plants, insects & bones (ethically sourced), rocks & minerals, or other found natural materials are incorporated into each creation. Myriad Mirage’s purpose is to share & teach others of the beauty in & about nature, to show the way I see the world that we don’t get to always appreciate. My vision is to also make the world a better place & help others.I am a creator & artist working passionately from my home/studio in Nyack, N.Y., right along the ethereal Hudson River. I devote much of my energy in my studio creating the work that I cherish -- my dreams are to adventure, travel & gather more unique nature to teach & share with the world. Every day, I am inspired by other artists, people who support me & my craft, life, & of course, nature. As a child, I would make art & write poetry for my family & friends & loved to give but this journey really took flight with the periodical Cicadas that emerged in 2013. Magicicada wings were spread out all over my town. I felt compelled to harvest every wing, day by day, hours upon hours that spring & summer. The Cicadas sparked something very special inside of me especially growing up being insect phobic. Now I am fascinated by insects & want to educate people about them as well!
