creatures and paintings

nat’s work vacillates between three-dimensional ‘creatures’ and two-dimensional ‘paintings’. 
the creatures are friendly, strange, tactile, interactive, and one of a kind. they range from pocket sized to human sized and brim with personality. 
layers of colorful textiles create paintings over armatures of fiber, wood, metal, cotton, and countless other materials.
