Miniature artist Ann Cooper creates a unique series of lanterns filled with miniature settings designed to celebrate the beauty of Ellen Rice's art and evoke the happy and peaceful moments of life on the shore and beyond.
Ann's lanterns use miniature easel lights and chandeliers to illuminate Ellen's paintings and other details in the handmade scenes, like fully stocked cabinets with such personal touches as miniature bottles containing sand from favorite local beaches, books and DVD album covers, bowls of found objects like shells and starfish.... Ann is a retired teacher who is “enjoying the opportunity to rekindle my lifelong fascination with dollhouses and miniatures," Creating displays in a 1:12 scale, she tells the story of each lantern with the details. Tremendous thought and attention to detail go into making each of Ann’s scenes. The regional coastal aspects are a wonderful touch that make them conversation pieces and great gift ideas for all kinds of occasions. |
This is a sampling of Ann Cooper's newest miniature scenes in lanterns.
