Dan Lam

Resin artist Dan Lam has truly honed her craft with this tricky medium! Her poured resin sculptures look like something you might find in a rainbow-colored cave. Lam has an eye for color combinations and adding just the right amount of shine to create visual interest in her pieces.

She also creates “blobs” like the ones below, using a piping bag (like a cake decorator) to apply the tiny spikes.

Texture is a key element of Lam’s resin works. When showing her work to children, ask them to describe how they think these sculptures feel. Are they hard? Soft? Rubbery? Smooth? Rough? Share their answers in the comments below!
