Geri deGruy's blog of art, musings, and inspiration

I am an outlier in my family of high-physical-risk people who throw themselves down mountains at great speed, jump out of airplanes and climb technical mountains. Adrenalin is not my drug of choice.

I think all of us feel like outliers at times. We have our own ways, vision and beauty but it somehow doesn't fit in with the rest of the crowd. We're different. Unique. We are our own radiance. But it can feel isolating.

This mixed media piece about difference is made with papers, paint, wax paper, polymer clay transfers, beads, and stitch. It is mounted on an artist board and framed in a gold floater frame.
