Nature's Whimsy

Fairy and Gnome Creations by Cynthia Keith

April 23 - May 9

CYNTHIA KEITH: ARTIST STATEMENT

I have always loved what nature has to offer. I have enjoyed meandering through woods that are filled with so many treasures. I’m not sure how the creation of gnome and fairy dwellings evolved from just collecting unique pieces of branches and stones. It has influenced me in appreciating God’s beautiful earth even more. Along with the natural elements, I have become somewhat of a Borrower, like in the book The Borrowers, repurposing everyday items in a different way to add to the whimsical nature.
