Detail, Head Full of Forgotten Things, 2019. Ontological Museum, Permanent Collection
Mixed Media was where I really started to experiment in making my own media and marrying it with other objects of curiosity.
The freedom to work with whatever I wanted in whatever way I wanted to actually focused me.
I began to envision art pieces that were made wholly of my own materials.
This required a lot of trial and error. I never considered any of it failure, just the learning process to getting new works from my head to the canvas, so to speak.

Star Trauth is an award-winning artist and writer she received her degree in Fine Art(Mt St Joseph University, Ohio, USA) and continues to study related to her field.
Her practice seeks to attract the audience visually with a desire for tactile engagement. She’s sought to create new art mediums with environmentalism in mind, using waste paper and plastic, and converting it to a flat pliable textile. Star hand molds and flame sculpts each piece, miniature original works in their own right, then melds them as free-standing sculpture, assemblage, or wall hanging. Her work is heavily inspired by music, experiences from her adventurous life, and currently a fierce battle with cancer.
