Johnnie Lightfoot by Lori Mitchell

$29.95

Johnnie Lightfoot by Lori Mitchell is all the confidence Loretta Lightfoot will need to enjoy this Easter’s festivities.  Older and wiser with a bit more experience at these holiday things, Johnnie is noticeably more relaxed and ready to enjoy himself.  Rolled-up overalls, bright yellow shirt and the requisite Sunday-best tie … he’s even brought a gift for the hostess!  I’d say Johnnie Lightfoot has this holiday mastered.  Keep them together for Loretta’s sake.

Description

Johnnie Lightfoot by Lori Mitchell is an imaginary resident of the Easter Fantasy World created by the popular American Folk Artist.  Imbued with a nostalgic quality that reminds collectors of old toys and Mother Goose characters, each papier-mâché statue tells a story. With a little imagination, you can arrange any number of Lori Mitchell’s characters to recreate your own childhood memories.  A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Ms. Mitchell found her inspiration in the bulbous-bodied, slim legged look of Film-Maker Tim Burton’s animated characters. East Coast based, Lori Mitchell began sculpting her characters in 1998 and has never looked back.  “As a kid, I found everything exciting and surprising, so I like for these figures to unlock that sense of wonder.  My intention is to entertain adults as well as children, so there’s got to be a certain level of sophistication to pull adults back into childhood.”
