Artist Statement
In following the winding path that inspiration and opportunity take, whichever medium I use, I’m always drawn to animals and the natural world. Detail, accuracy and texture give me great satisfaction, and I love the challenge of achieving this in miniature on unconventional surfaces such as found feathers and rocks.
Biography

Omanie also designs, creates and occasionally restores leaded glass, sews historic costumes, sculpts, makes leather masks, creates marionettes and needle-felted 3-D animals, all subject to the time allowed by her career as a scenic artist and set designer in professional theatre. She’s won scholarships, worked on commission, participated in exhibits (both group and solo) and has been a proud member of Braid Street Studios since it opened.
