Tory Phippen, Artist and Owner of Leaning Doodle
I have a strong passion for crafting and art that has been nurtured from a young age through my experiences with my mother and school while growing up in Rockford, Illinois. Having a supportive and encouraging figure in my life, like my mother, was instrumental in helping me to pursue my creative interests and develop my artistic talents. The city of Rockford has a vibrant arts community, with a variety of art galleries, museums, and cultural events that helped foster my love for the arts.
I have been exposed to a variety of different mediums, from traditional crafts like crochet and drawing to more modern techniques like 3D printing and resin pouring. My background in multiple mediums is beneficial as it allows me to explore different ways of expressing my creativity. I found a way to combine my love for crafting and art with my passion for technology. Using computers to create designs and bring my ideas to life through 3D Print, Laser Engraving and Cutting, and Resin Pouring has been a great way to expand my creative possibilities and produce intricate and precise work. Incorporating mixed media into my art has provided a unique and personalized touch to my pieces, as it allows me to combine different materials and techniques in creative ways.
