---- The inspiration for my Art Car came from the days of my life and the very first Art Car Ball I attended in 95. When I saw those Art Cars on that garage roof, I knew someday I would make one. Since that time I met Paul McRae who has been a huge influence and great mentor while creating "Favorite Things." Ultimately, she is a conglomeration of my "Favorite Things" over the last ya know 68 years or so. "Favorite Things," also has a few interactive features for kids of all ages, she is also a mixed-media Art Car using paint pens, brush painting, cloth & sponge painting. In addition, there are several fixed objects that adorn her body and her soul (inside.)---- I have been talking about making an Artcar for decades. While I didn't really get to make one until 2024, it has been a dream since 95. Bryan Taylor (may he RIP) put up with me telling him for years I was going to make an Artcar but never being able to do so. When I came to the parade in 2013, I wanted to make one even more. After losing my late husband in 2016, I grieved for quite some time. Actually, I only recently started coming out of that darkness a few years ago. And, when I started talking to Paul McRae on the phone in 2023 somehow I knew meeting him would lead to a successful Artcar creation.
