Luann Udell

I make wall hangings, sculptures and jewelry inspired by prehistoric, tribal and world art. I find it just as important to write about my art as to make it. I write about how being an artist has made me a better person. And how being a late-bloomer, a mother (teens! When did THAT happen??), a martial artist, a rider, a climber and a writer, has made me a better artist. The world needs our art. Whether it's a bowl, a painting, a song, a garden, a story, we must do whatever we can to get the work we create out into the world. In 2003 I wrote CARVING RUBBER STAMPS for Lark Books, I wrote a regular column for CraftsBusiness Magazine (til it went out of business, and no, that wasn't my fault) and now I write a column on life and art for The Crafts Report magazine. I also am the proud yet frantic owner of a couple of goofy cats, a grumpy rabbit, and a small flock of cockatiels.
