Polymeri Online 24.7.09 - Suzanne Del Rizzo

Suzanne Del Rizzo is a stay at home mom with four small children, from Oakville Ontario.
she has a honours science degree from Queen's University but always had a passion for art. she has worked with polymer clay since the early'90's during and after university, but only recently began exploring plasticine as a medium after reading a few books my children brought home from the library illustrated by Barbara Ried. she was totally inspired by her fantastic plasticine illustrations, and liked the properties of plasticine as it stays pliable and doesn't require baking, in the past she used to work with polymer clay to make jewelry, but decided to focus on plasticine at the moment.
Suzanne loves doing cottage/home portraits and depicting children at play, and she takes pride in adding very specific details to her work, to make it something unique and special.

we can be inspired by this beautiful work!

Silvia Karkut - The material she works with is plasticine. In Gemany it is called Knetgummi. Children play with and it did not get firm. She wants to try super sculpey now, because she saw so many of great works done with it on flickr. Silvia lives in Germany, studied graphic design and now she wants to work as an illustrator working with plasticine. Her dolls are so unique, some of her photos are a part of a flickr group which is called Ugly Dolls Art - are they ugly? i don't think so... :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/26541020@N04/

Barbara Reid does wonders with clay illustration. Her style, her perfectness - magic!

born in 1957 in Toronto, Ontario.
After winning a creative writing contest in grade six, she decided to become a writer when she grew up. But by the end of high school it was clear that although she enjoyed writing, she liked reading a lot more, and drawing best of all. At the Ontario College of Art and Design her focus was illustration, and it was for a class assignment that she first experimented with plasticine to make a dimensional picture. The project was a surprise success, and when she entered another plasticine picture in a calendar contest to her surprise she won the contest.
