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.

What may not be very evident in these images is the "brown" texture you are seeing is actually metallic bronze (highly reflective). This painting is all about the texture and is very rich looking. The edges (unseen here) are painted solid bronze so this work does not necessarily need to be framed to appear finished. It is ready to hang and floats away from the wall. This is one of my favorite pieces to just stare at.
