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.

This work is so named because I used an acrylic medium with pumice in it (Golden "Pumice Gel") to create the main texture. I also used Golden "Tar Gel" which is more evident in the close-up images below. This is a very glossy piece, thus the shine in the images (sorry, my claim to fame isn't photography). Private collection.
