ChaRee
also paints with acrylics and sometimes oils, and sews other novelty items,
which often incorporate metal and ceramic embellishments; and Ben works with
metal and leather, as well as helping out with the sewing and design of
costumes.

She is
participating in LoLa for the first time this year, at her home studio on
Minnehaha Avenue, where “sewing happens in the living room with the
presence of my two children playing and my husband, Ben, working on his
projects.”

What media do you work in?
Our main media is in fabric. We also work in acrylic
paint, ceramics, leather, and metal.

What inspires/informs your art?
For fabric, we are inspired by the human form and
create custom clothing. Paintings are a spur-of-the-moment creation and come
from that inspiration.

Why did
you join LoLa?
I joined LoLa because it is in my neighborhood and
it seems to be a fun weekend.

Are you
doing anything special for Lola?
My kids are going to have refreshments and snacks
available. (Or else I will end up providing them!)
See more of CherriTree Designs in their Etsy shop
