Deb Wood Bio
As long ago as I can remember, art has always been my passion. As a child, busy in my playroom,paper, fabrics and color fascinated me. And as I grew, art continued to fill my mind with
wonder...
With a background in Graphic Arts, my interests eventually turned to the dimensional arts and
a love of sculpting evolved. After being introduced to the world of polymers in 1988, I knew I
had found the most facinating medium! Oh, what possibilities!
In 1994 my work was licensed into reproduction with the introduction of my first gift lines, the
most popular being the "Happy Habits" , the funny little nuns. They were highly sought by
collectors and were sold nationwide for several years. Now I am content to create one of a
kind figurative sculptures and market them via the web! The collectors and patrons make this
such a rewarding experience. My heartfelt thanks goes out to each and every one...
In addition to creating one of a kind work, during the past 23 years I have also taught seminars
in polymer clay sculpting to young and young at heart. My work has been featured on
television, in newspaper articles, magazines and ads for polymer products. Always willing to
share technique, I have also written several instructional articles as useful teaching aids for
companies and publications and conducted product testing and development for the major
companies.
In 2010 I was asked to assume the duties as President of the International Art Doll Registry
and through that online organization, I continue to encourage and teach artists interested in
learning more and promoting their art. I will be forever grateful for the wonderful opportunities
that have graced my life.
While we continue to see our beloved polymer clays evolve, we too as artists must adapt and
grow, change and blossom. I hope my instruction helps new and experienced artists alike gain
the confidence they desire to make this medium as challenging and rewarding for them as it has
been for me.
Warmly,
Deb Wood
