SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – ArkLaTex Artistry’s Brittney Hazelton talks with Chang Liu, a China-born, Shreveport-based artist who creates whimsy, fun, and fantastical glow resin art.
Resin artist, Chang Liu started her LLC, Blanket Fort Creations with the hopes of bringing fantasy, whimsy, and imagination to people in an interactive way. Liu crafts unique glow-in-the-dark sculptures of creatures, imaginative scenes, and funny pieces in framed resin.
“The general idea is to bring art out to the people, that can be touched and handled and enjoyed in a real-life scenario,” says Liu.
Liu, originally from China, Liu met her husband Phil Goodfellow, and eventually, they moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, making it their home. Both she and her husband are artists and they often vend at events locally under the name, Blanket Fort Creations.
Why the name ‘Blanket Fort Creations’?
During the pandemic, Liu came up with the name of her company, Blanket Fort Creations.
“My daughter and I started a tradition where, after we do spring cleaning, we take all the bedsheets in the house and we make a gigantic blanket fort and it stays up, its basically an open sandbox for whatever adventures we come up with,” explains Liu. ” So, the idea is that everything is possible in this blanket fort.”
