Tina's Art Studio
Welcome to my studio....           
I attempt to capture nature's
beauty through drawing, etching,  
felting, carving, sculpting,
photography, painting, dying and
painting.  
Etched Glass
I love texture and form and have
always had a deep appreciation
for any art form that is visually
stimulating.   My work gives me
great pleasure.  With each
project I take in the curves,
edges, angles, colors and
shadows of a subject and then
translate the experience into a
physical object that can be
displayed on a wall or table - or
simply held in one's hand.
Needle
Felting
My subjects are generally items
found in a natural setting - trees,
barns, water, stone, wood,
flowers, birds, animals, fish, etc.  
With each project I strive to
produce an image that reflects
the beauty and rhythm of nature,
stirs the senses, and rewards the
spirit.  I believe that nature, itself,
is far more beautiful than
anything we can contrive
independently, and I remain
dedicated to preserving nature's
beauty in whatever medium I use.

Photographs
My art education began with
studies at the Baum Art School
in Allentown, PA in 1963.  My
interest in photography didn't
begin until 1996 when I began
taking pictures of striking objects
and scenes from which to sketch
and paint.  From my first photo
shoot I was hooked.  On that day
the principles of my art training,
experimental nature and
appreciation for technology
came together as one.

Colored Pencil &
Graphite Pencil Drawings
More recently, I've developed a
fascination for colored pencil,  
carving and sculpting egg
shells, spinning wool into yarn
and needle felting.  Each
medium has it's own properties
and each project and design
provides a new set of challenges.
