Philene VaivodsI have always enjoyed color, design and all creative art. As a child I re-decorated my bedroom many times as well as my dollhouses. It was fun dressing my dolls and paper dolls. While in college majoring in anthropology, I also took classes in design and art history. These classes have influenced my works. I am interested in many fields including science, architecture, fashion and cultures, and my art reflects this. Over the years I have painted off and on, and in the past 15 or so years have expanded to mixed media. While listening to classical music, I am in a different space creating. It is interesting to start with shapes, and then see how it becomes a piece of art. I like the freedom of just an idea that becomes art using different materials, textures, colors. The Bainbridge Island art workshops I have taken were very helpful for collage design and composition. I enjoy the art community here. Toni FossToni is originally from South Pasadena,CA.
