She loves to make things, lives to paint and likes to combine unusual
materials in her artwork. Of "Spirit Mask," Chisholm states:
"Driftwood, shells, metal bits gathered on the Fundy shore of my
beloved Long Island to make a mask that resonates with the music of the
soul, the sea, and the wind; played upon a tree. An open-ended series,
this mask may be hung outside or in. May it sing for you."
