Aleathia Drehmer's Page

Hello! My name is Aleathia Drehmer and I am an artist of sorts. I am not formally trained, but I like to capture slices of life, odd angles and nature. I am a photographer. I dabble in acrylics....really dabble, but tend to have fun with paint markers and charcoal.

Presently, I am working on several multi-media projects. One of them is of the ocean and it is made up of the tops to IV medicines that get discarded at my work. I always found it a waste to throw away such color and I had the entire ER saving them for me for about 5 months until I had enough to complete the project. They find me silly at work.

I am also working on a 365 project that started innocently with a photograph of myself as I started my new journey in life without my husband. It has ended in a grand scale art project I hope to have done by the summer.

I am in the process of going through the 20 boxes of art my daughter has made in the last 7 years and seeing how we can combine our efforts. I am trying to make new projects using her art as part of my art. We have one we are calling "Tombstones" at the moment.

I have some shadow boxes in my mind, in honor of Joseph Cornell, but I will have to wait til the summer when I can have the local Amish folk build them for me. I am also looking for wooden thread spools, so if you find some and they are free, grab them. I will pay the shipping.

I am a mother, a nurse, a writer, an editor,and a woman on the verge of something. I am the poetry editor for Full of Crow that I run with the darling Lynn Alexander and I am an editor of special editions for Tainted Coffee Press/Zygote in my Coffee.
