My development as an artist has taken many turns throughout my life, from simple arts and crafts as a child to an internationally recognized art-quilter, author, educator and spokesperson. Each twist and turn brings me further into the light of discovery. There are so many ways to play with color and texture, so many avenues to explore, I wonder if I will have the time to get it all out of my head, to see each idea emerge. Probably not, but I will die trying.

I am currently exploring impressionism, surrealism and abstract art with artist-acrylics and colored-pencils. I also use collage as a technique as well as pen and ink for Escher-like impossibilities. Here you will find some selected works representing this journey. You are also welcome to follow my day-to-day blog posts - windows into my studio, or peep holes into my mind (anything can crawl out onto a post there). I enjoy all comments, both positive and negative, so please share your thoughts with me.
