Characters in Search of a Home
Meet Elle and her cast of characters, found object sculpture that tell a story. What kind of a story? That is up to you to find out because these mischievous objects have something different for each viewer.
Elle is a relative newcomer to the art fair business but is attacking it with a vengeance! This is her first full year of participating in the shows and it has led her from Reston, VA, to Stillwater, OK, and many places in between.
Sometimes, just like more seasoned artists, she doesn't turn a profit and other times she wins the award and great sales to boot!
Two recent triumphs were having one of her sculptures chosen by producers at ESPN to be on their set, right behind the anchor and most recently, in Spring Green, WI, when early in the show a customer purchased 90% of her work, which meant cancelling the next show so she could make work for the next ones.

Each "Character" is an original, one of a kind creation composed from a variety of materials: old vintage junk, tools, flea market finds and ephemera of times gone by. They are constantly changing as she finds just the right component that enables the sculpture to find its personality.
Meet Elle and the Characters:
July 17-20 - Ann Arbor Summer Fair, space C133 on State
and 3 Chicago area shows in August & September, with more to come.
