" "Swaps" are a wonderful way to build a collection. Artists create a number of pieces which are mailed to the organizer--known as the "Swapmeister". Each artist's pieces are distributed among the participants, so that while you send in the required number of items of your own making, you get back one from each participant--and they in turn get one of yours. So, with a group of ten artists, each will end up with one of their own items, and nine other pieces........."

A degree in Textiles and Design in Rhode Island has taken many turns and paths -- fashion writing for a national magazine in NYC, clothing designing in San Francisco Bay Area, furniture design and interiors in Western Canada, house murals in Nova Scotia and Toronto, and theatre work on both sides of the border. Now a resident of The Beaches, mask-making is my focus. The masks are plaster gauze base, built with clay, painted and urethaned. They are meant for wall display and interior art as well as to be worn in play. One needs not to go to Carnival or Mardi Gras, to Venezia, Rio, or New Orleans to don a mask and frolic and provoke!

Fernando Luis Perez is an mask maker artist who has been honing his skill and style for over 20 years. He started learning mask making art at age 8 from Leonardo Pagan, a master mask-maker who learned from the original 18th century master, Don Juan Careta. He is an artist who has both enhanced and challenged mask making art by letting his spirit and artistic magic evolve into new versions of mask art that go beyond the established. "No se puede limitar su imaginacion artistica cuando no tiene limites", Fernando explains ("You cannot limit imagination since it has no limits").

Sometimes called 'Haitian ironwork', or 'Haitian metal cut-outs', these pieces are great additions as accents in ethnic interior design schemes, especially those with an African, or Caribbean theme.

My interest in masks began when I was quite young and just becoming interested in cultures other than my own. As an adult, international studies and travels to Africa and the South Pacific connected me to the mask as a unique tribal totem and cemented my fascination with their often primitive nature. With my own masks, I try to replicate that tone, through the use of organic materials, recycled and found objects, plant fibers and horse hair.

Huichol Art & Legend Ramon de la Torre, Huichol indian, artist and artisan, has collected these legends from the elder Huichol people. It has taken him almost 30 years of work. Ramon has worked with these legends as themes for his pictures. Mauricia is following her father's steps, adding her style. Our planet today is in great economic and climatic turmoil. We have much to learn from a culture which has withstanded nature's and history's turmoils with a low-impact philosophy centered in deep relationships with our real sources of well-being. The legends and pictures of the Huicholes speak of the way they relate to the sun, to corn, flowers, deer, death, the stars, the wind and the sea. The Huichol people also have their own version of the great flood.

"Believing that the purpose of art is to explore humanity and that art comes alive when it relates to people's lives, my art draws on multicultural themes and engages participation. Working as a bridge between cultures has led me to develop diverse themes steeped in myth, ritual, and archetype. I've created over 600 metal sculptured masks and have performed with them throughout the world (thus far in 29 countries). By studying the myths and mask-work of eastern and western cultures, I continue to infuse my art with this timeless material.

Artist Jeffrey Zigulis began his Dream Masks series as presents for schoolmates of his four-year-old son, Matthew. Zigulis told the children that the masks could help scare away bad dreams. One little boy is careful to see that his baby brother has his mask nearby whenever he?s sleeping. Something about the masks--which were inspired by African, Mexican, and Micronesia masks- resonates for most people who see them, so Zigulis began making groups of masks and showing them with his other ceramic work. With each group he makes, the series changes: some groups are whimsical, other are dramatic and powerful. Over the past few years, Zigulis has dedicated all of his studio time to the creation of masks. Each clay mask is scraped, carved and burnished before it is painted with acrylics and accented with colored-wire hair. The color combinations used are influenced by Joseph Albers? Color Theories. The evolution of the colors Zigulis uses are inspired by snorkeling trips to Molokai, and an interest in the colors and patterns that appear on the wings of butterflies and moths. Acrylics and pearlized airbrush paints are used as stains and solid colors that create depth and accent the texture of the fired clay. Best known for his Black Raku pots with bamboo and for his Dancing Man series, Zigulis characteristically moves traditional forms and methods in new directions, to produce styles that are uniquely his own. Zigulis has been very involved in projects with the art community, locally and nationally. Sold through many fine galleries and juried craft shows, his ceramics can be found in MUSEUMS, CORPORATIONS, PRIVATE COLLECTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. 10-D 22" $340 SOLD Something about the masks--which were inspired by African, Mexican, and Micronesia masks- resonates for most people who see them, so Zigulis began making groups of masks and showing them with his other ceramic work.

Lorra Lee Rose, from the Olympic Rain Forest in Washington state, is a modern day mask maker. Her creations, combining an array of exotic, moulted feathers, are stunning works of art. She chooses feathers selected for visual quality and places them one at a time, creating each design with its own distinct personality. Her appreciation for the beauty inherent in nature is obvious. These masks are decorative wall pieces and are wearable as well.
