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. It is a process and an adventure.

I am currently exploring Impressionism, Surrealism and Abstract art with artist-acrylics, colored-pencils, as well as Pen and Ink. Here you will find some selected works representing this journey.

I enjoy all comments, both positive and negative, so please share your thoughts with me.

I like blue, I like texture, I like geometry, I like the red glazing, but I don't like this painting. Well I don't dislike it either really. Some others who have seen it in person actually like it a lot. So, I am going to do another, same design (probably) and see where that takes me. That is why I posted this. Now I have to do another because you will be expecting to see it. I am so glad you are there. Perhaps you can say why I don't like it?
