Years of Participation in the Arts Fest:
New in 2014!!!
About the Artist or Work:
Art is in my genes. I come from a long line of craftsmen, my daughter is also an artist, and we are both married to artists. I
trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts was a career
clinical scientist,and love my sense of smell. With Mamoucha handcrafted
soaps I marry color, form, fragrance, and use chemistry all at once to
produce a luxurious, useful object. I have a lot of fun in my studio. I
like to call what i do “The Fine Art of Clean”. All Mamoucha
ingredients are FDC (Food, Drugs, Cosmetics) approved. I use naturally
derived oils and butters, cruelty free fragrance oils, pigments, not
dyes, and colored micas. I like to use Shea Butter, Glycerin, and
Buttermilk in my soaps. I am very proud to say that the national
Handcrafted Soap, and Cosmetic Makers Guild used one of my soaps to
illustrate their new "Why Handcrafted Soap? pamphlet.
What/who inspires you to create art?
Since I adore color, my eyes are always searching every thing I see for
color combinations. The natural, online and print worlds are especially
and I believe that I will need to watch Les Craven's Grand Budapest
Hotel many, many times to cull all the fabulous color in that
masterwork. Since I am a geek, My Nebula Series of soaps are influenced
by NASA images of nebulas in space. Sweet Pea Homemade Ice Cream
