Cindy Burch: Leaf Art
Artist's Statement
Cindy's leaf art is lovingly made by molding shapes out of natural leaves. All pieces are sized depending on the leaves used. Cindy's leaf art are generated by leaves found during one of her quests with Joe (her husband) and it is not abnormal that they would be driving down the road and Cindy would ask Joe to stop and she would step out with her "always ready" scissors and cut leaves. The process of making leaf art is a labor of love! In Cindy's case, the leaf art was a form of therapy.
Cindy's Story:
"The two stars on each piece are for Joseph and Andrew who we lost in 2002 to murder at Blockbuster in Anniston, Alabama. My sister Lisa introduced me to the leaf art process as a form of therapy. It turned out that my sister was right! I made so many leaf bowls that Joe suggested that I should sell them.
