‘Cartoon Folk Art’ is how she describes her fine artwork, which ranges from fluid ink work to hand-crafted, dimensional ‘Pop UP’ paintings. Most recently, she has gained notoriety for her custom vinyls and one of a kind sculptures.
Born into a big-hearted family of artists and designers, Miss Mindy was always surrounded by creativity. Her biggest inspiration was her grandmother Mary, who worked as an ink and paint girl at Disney in the 1930’s on Snow White & Pinocchio, wore bright red lipstick and tiny polyester suits. Her Sister, CJ Metzger is also a tremendous ‘paint-ress’, fellow collaborator and muse. Miss Mindy’s Husband Rick, is also an amazing fine artist, but as for the miniature sets & Disney lovers, they know him as Ahab’s Shipyard…
