The one technique or tool that I cannot live without is... Since I’m a prolific multi mixed media artist I can’t work without gel mediums. I go from one type of art to another but usually the one thing I use in one way or another is gel medium. I can use it on fabric, trims, paper, beads dolls, and metal, plastic you name it. In addition I can mix all kinds of things in it and then apply it to what ever I may be creating.
One artist that inspires me is... I will not name one, there are so many in so many different disciplines. But with all that said I try to follow my own bliss, my own way my own creativity.
5 things on my studio table right now include... gel medium, encaustic materials, tissue paper, glaze, book; 100 ways to keep your Soul Alive.

The one technique or tool that I cannot live without is... A charcoal pencil. That would be my tool. With a drawing background, I couldn't do without it. It makes great marks, smears, shades and can be made to go away when I want. Encaustic painting would be the technique. It's delicious. Thick, thin, colors or not, scratch it, burn it, it loves it all. Plus, you can rub it with your hand, feel the texture and shine it up, in a flash.
One artist that inspires me is... I went to see the El Anatsui show at the Jack Shainman gallery in New York a few weeks ago. Anatsui uses African influences and takes rigid materials, like tin cans, and creates seemingly soft, cloth-like structures. Amazing!
5 things on my studio table right now include...Since I just cleaned out my studio, this is a good time to ask what's on the worktable, I can see everything. My camera, an altered book I am working on, a piece of cast glass I made and will use in an assemblage, a dictionary, Jade glue from New York Central Art supply

The one technique or tool that I cannot live without is...My sewing machine. I'd have to find a new medium as stitching by hand is not on my radar and I don't like using glue to hold the textile pieces together.
One artist that inspires me is...Deidre Adams Her art and photography are incredible.

Today my favorite color is...Purple - always purple - deep royal purple but any of them will do. Although I don't use it often in my artwork as I'm drawn more to
earthy southwestern colors in my art. Subtle purples creep into these pieces. Maybe I'll go home tonight and make something purple.
If I could take a class from one artist from anytime in history, including today, it would be...Mark Rothko - I love his work and would love to chat with him about his take on abstract expressionism.
