I would like to share with you my folk art which is inspired by my love for the carousel and its music.I started 11 years ago constructing a small band organ front, using a carved frame, pvc, pipe, cupids, a brass trumpet, a drawer pull and some eagle pins. It measures 14"x 12". Nothing like jumping from the frying pan into the fire and making another one measuring 24"x48" and it took 2 years before it was completed. I call it
"AMERICANA". It was followed by a cupid and flower band organ front 24x36 and a rounding board entitled Ben Hur. For the next 5 years I was busy manufacturing children�s lamps...I have now returned to making folk art and I can�t stop; making rounding boards, some of which have lights and band organ facades. They are all dimensional and constructed using wood panels, wood applique, antique frames, resin castings, prints, PVC pipe rhinestones, mirrors,
ferrules and anything and everything. Some of the resin castings are from molds that I made from old Victorian mirrors. I hope you enjoy looking at my art
