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.

I created this just to prove to someone I could do it with acrylics (as opposed to oils) in under an hour. I made three in forty-five minutes. This was dry by the time her hour was up. She is now going to give the new acrylics a try. I used only three colors (blue, purple, white).

(I did not use the traditional marbling technique where color is floated on a surface medium then manipulated.)
