Esther Siegel is a “later in life” artist, who emerged from working with making paper in the form of scrapbooking, paper, and card making. Once she discovered she could 'draw and paint' with objects, she was hooked. What she lacked in art education, she made up with enthusiasm and courage. Just as she has always enjoyed putting together ingredients in the kitchen to bake and cook, Esther loves the alchemy of creating interesting combinations of objects in the studio for their new and 'perfect home'. Her need for harmony, love of horses, and interest in psychotherapy are some of her themes and motivators. As a glass-half-full person, you will often see whimsy, optimism, and lightness in her art.
