THE (purely paper) FLOWER SHOPPE from David Stark Design & Production on Vimeo.

This inspires me to the core...Oh my Goodness!!!!

This is an artist interview by Deb Silva of Artella Daily Muse...March 1, 2007

(...taken in part from complete article here)

Sunday's Artist Profile: Amber Heagerty

Daily Muse: How would you describe your art?

Amber: Probably the best way to describe what I do is Altered Art or mixed media.
DM: Tell us more...
Amber: I love taking either a blank piece of paper or canvas and start layering little bits and pieces of ephemera, paint, stamps, fibers, charms and images until I am satisfied with a textured collage...I LOVE texture and layers!!!
DM: What is your favorite piece of your own art and why?

Amber: My favorite piece of my own art would be my first altered art piece that I ever did...It is a sculpted and altered cold plaster bust with a collaged hat...Kind of funky but I felt like a true artist creating it!

DM: What art supply can you not live without?

Amber: Hmmm tough choice...but I'll have to say my fingers...I just couldn't live without them, I use them all the time to spread paint, blend colors and smooth down glued paper! I'll also have to add my imagination...it's my one greatest asset! But as far as something inorganic, I would have to say a good adhesive like Gel Medium.

DM: Is there music that you love to hear?

Amber: I most always listen to light classical...It lightens my mood and makes me feel creative!
