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.


Touch of Violet

Iridescent violet (and some iridescent blue) on textured black background makes this piece very shiny and reflective. Intensity changes as one moves about while viewing it, and as light changes. Ready to hang, no framing necessary as the panel is cradled - sides painted / textured same as front.
