Lois Kamp - A Mixed Media Creative
Story By rica LewiS | PhotoS By roB wiLKerSoN
Lois Kamp creates art from the inside out.
She often comes to her canvas without a
plan.
"Most of my art is intuitive," Kamp
said. "I just sit down and paint."
Kamp's "see what emerges" method
makes her art more joyful. Focusing on
the journey rather than the outcome keeps
her coming back to the canvas to try new
things - and painting is just part of the fun. She
also dabbles in alcohol ink, a highly pigmented and fast-drying medium.
She works with wool on her needle felting projects, as well as wax, oil,
pastels, tattoo ink and acrylics. She makes cards; she writes poems, but
most of all - she sets her muse free.
When asked what she likes to do best, Kamp said she couldn't choose a
favorite medium.
"Whatever I'm doing at the moment is what I
like best," she said.
