About the Artist:

My name is Tammy Strum of Light and Shadow Studio and I have been a professional artist for over thirty years. I am married with three grown children and one very stubborn Scottish terrier. I have mainly worked designing and sculpting wildlife art in commercial markets. However, in my own time, my passion is for Halloween! I love everything about it.

I have been sculpting and painting Halloween items for family and friends for years. From light hearted whimsical Halloween to the darker creepier side of Halloween, I do it all. I work in all mediums but love sculpting with Paperclay the best. I am a very detailed oriented artist and spend many hours making my pieces special with some twist that makes them very different. I enjoy using found objects and constantly try to change the items that I paint on.

I recently have moved into selling my art on Ebay and have been thrilled with the results. Everyone has been so supportive and encouraging. I belong to the wonderful group of HA31 artists and have found them instrumental in getting me started and helping me succeed. I find a pure joy in creating things that allow me to use my imagination! I find an even greater joy in sharing it with others.
