I used to make all of my work in a 10\u2019 x 8\u2019 room in my cabin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That woodsy cabin, her pets and the wildlife around her provide inspiration for the sculptures and collages she creates. \u201cAs a child, I spent a lot of time in this cabin with my paternal grandmother,\u201d says Ownbey. \u201cShe taught me about nature and gardening. She grew a lot of her own food, and I would often help her in the garden. Actually, both of my grandmothers passed on a love for nature and growing things. My maternal grandparents both loved growing flowers and I often spent visits with them walking and talking about all the things they were growing and how beautiful they were. I feel certain these walks and talks with my grandparents influenced my work and gave me a deep appreciation for nature and growing things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She creates her papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 from found papers and items, or as she puts it, with materials that \u201calready have a history of their own when I find them.\u201d In this way, viewers of her art must look closely to discover the various elements and how they create a whole. \u201cEverything starts with sewing patterns,\u201d she says. \u201cThe sculpture bases are formed from that paper and the collages have drawings on sewing patterns. I collect old books with foxing stains and interesting covers, vintage wallpaper, various stamps (ration, postage, Green), unused old food labels, interesting antique magazines, blueprints and other random papers. These papers are cut and ripped and then adhered to the surface to create texture and color on the sculptures and collages.\u201d The finished works are coated with a matte varnish and a protective coat of wax.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_49709\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49709\" class=\"wp-image-49709\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Feature-Artist_-Tiffany-Ownbey-A-Pack-of-Dogs.-Tiffany-Ownbey-artist-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Feature-Artist_-Tiffany-Ownbey-A-Pack-of-Dogs.-Tiffany-Ownbey-artist-copy.jpg 948w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Feature-Artist_-Tiffany-Ownbey-A-Pack-of-Dogs.-Tiffany-Ownbey-artist-copy-178x300.jpg 178w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Feature-Artist_-Tiffany-Ownbey-A-Pack-of-Dogs.-Tiffany-Ownbey-artist-copy-607x1024.jpg 607w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Feature-Artist_-Tiffany-Ownbey-A-Pack-of-Dogs.-Tiffany-Ownbey-artist-copy-768x1296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Feature-Artist_-Tiffany-Ownbey-A-Pack-of-Dogs.-Tiffany-Ownbey-artist-copy-910x1536.jpg 910w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Feature-Artist_-Tiffany-Ownbey-A-Pack-of-Dogs.-Tiffany-Ownbey-artist-copy-810x1367.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-49709\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Pack of Dogs.
