As I finish up odds + ends for 2008, I have a handful of goodies for you all, including a bunch of Q+A's from Nov-Dec Forest Finds! To kick the goodness off, today's Q+A is with Anna Joyce, the talented artist who creates hand cut and sewn canvases using new and vintage fabrics. Thank you Anna!

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a zoo keeper, the owner of a cinnamon roll cart, an actress and an Air Force flight school instructor ( I watched Top Gun a few too many times...)

What inspires or influences you more: your art education or your daily life/environment ?
I was very inspired by art school- I loved it! But I am mostly inspired by my daily life and environment. A shirt cuff, an old pillow, or a book at a thrift store can inspire a whole new line. But mostly I am inspired by my baby girls.

What does 2009 hold for you?
Parenting! And art, and health...I hope to continue and grow my studio practice more and more in 2009. More products are around the corner. I would like to expand my line to include table linens, and possibly bed linens as well!
