ABOUT THE ARTIST I graduated in December 1993 from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS with a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting. Since graduation I have been pursuing a career as a full-time artist, and I have been exhibiting my work nationally. I am represented by The Cross Gallery in the Crossroads District, Kansas City, Mo and 6 Gallery in Lawrence, KS.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT: VACATION SERIES
Objects that are mimetic in nature have always fascinated me. This fascination has led me to develop a series of paintings that use toys as subject matter. In this series, I document the many journeys of a group of friends as they travel thoughout the United States and abroad. These characters, such as Mrs. Potato Head and Barney Rubble, visit historic sites, art museums, and other wonders of the world.--Constance Ehrlich
