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.

Pretty obvious I used a lot of different kinds of lace to create the texture. Kept it almost monochromatic. I learned if I didn't, multicolored distracts from the texture. I have been working on Lace Two for over a year now - still playing with color. I don't think it photographs well, or I haven't done well with lighting, so do check out and enlarge the close-up images below.
