Udell is a sixty-something grandmother who has always had an artistic flare, but no time to pursue her talents until she moved to the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina several years ago. With no formal training Udell began to compose a series of remarkable assemblages of wood, polymer clay, and found objects. The inspiration for each piece comes from her rich life experiences, and from her keen sense of humor. Udell's pieces convey a whimsical childlike charm and character that speaks to the inner child in each of us. Simplicity of form, mixed with vivid colors and textures, make her work a genre unto itself. Since she began her creations she has placed pieces in private collections throughout the US and Canada. Udell's works are for the serious folk art collector and those who are seeking truly unusual decorative arts for their home.
