Roberta Karstetter Assemblage Art (25)

Created on: 21 Feb 2017
I am a spiritual being, having random earthly experiences - as a Wife, Mom, and "Gramma"; as a Parish Administrator; Youth Ministry Coordinator; and in my spare time an Assemblage Artist.

I have enjoyed being an "artist" since early years, having tried different mediums over the years, it has been through assemblage art, using found objects, that I have found the most fulfillment in my creative endeavors.
I love using unique, eclectic, everyday objects, working them together to form an expression, or thought, that evokes emotion, and a sense of "ah-ha!"

Much of my work is spiritual, some take a light-hearted look at spiritual things, but the majority offers a much deeper, reflective view of God and life.
