dailydriver-1st-2017---- Mermania is three mermaids. One on each side. The face of a mermaid is on the hood of the car and the tail is on the top. The back is a sea theme.---- I went to the parade in 1998. Not being an artist and never having done any art, after the art car line, I said "I'm going to do a car". I purchased a 1958 VW bug and got help on my first car Psyched out which was covered in Tarot cards with a gypsy on top. My second car was my daily driver Peaches on The beaches. A beach scene with a large female swimmer on the hood wearing a yellow polka dot bikini. My third car was Carsmos. She was my universe. Regions of earth on the hood, sea on the sides and the planets on the top. Then there was Mermania, my present car. Since doing a car, I have continually made my home a special place with art and organized collections. It has been on the weird homes tour five times. I have challenges calling myself an artist. I always get help with the drawing and painting but I am a gifted "gluer". I have artistic vision and know exactly what the end should be. I love giving my community an opportunity to participate in all kinds of art projects including the ones at my home and on my cars. By far, my favorite event during art car week is going to the schools. It moves me emotionally every year.
