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.


Sun Water Land Abstract



acrylic on canvas-wrapped braced-panel, 24" x 36"
framing not necessary, appears to float away from wall

I had a very difficult time taking photos of the full view. I am still not pleased. So much detail seems lost to me and the light purples in the water area seem to disappear (see close-up images below). Even though there is a lot of detail in this work, it went very fast. I really like this painting and haven't decided yet if I am willing to part with it, at least not until I get a professional series of images. Then I can have giclées made, for myself and/or to sell.
