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 envisioned two panels, matted and framed as depicted above, to look as though they were one panel when painted, then cut apart. They actually were side-by-side when painted. They could also be shown individually matted and framed, and hung side-by-side.
