Connie Stark is taking her art to another dimension — sort of.
She dabbles in painting, but the two-dimensional art hasn’t drawn her complete attention. Stark’s artistic passion is knit bears, and she has made them by the thousand.
“It is kind of a different way to go because it is three dimensional,” she said of the unique mole-hair creations.
The Confluence resident draws on a lifetime of artistic interest to complete each intricate cuddler. She is a native of Michigan where she went to school for graphic art. Stark and her family lived in Garrett County, Md. before moving to the Turkeyfoot Highlands in 2005. The bears have been in the making for decades.
