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.

So much of what I used was fluid, I worked on this flat on a table, as opposed to upright on an easel. With that view point, the "ladder" appeared more like floating stepping stones over a channel of fire. Since it was meant as a shape and not an actual ladder, I am happy with that image or perspective.

I was afraid the darker left side (see below) was going to appear too dark but making the wiggly curved lines off-white prevent that. The red dots pull the fiery color over to the left to spread it out well enough without taking focus away from the "ladder" or fiery path.
