Here are a few more photos from my solo exhibit, currently on display in Bedford, VA. They’re at the Bower Center for the Arts, and will be there through September 27th. The pink corner: L-R: Fragrant Canopy, Jubilation, and I’ll Bring the Kiwi I thought they looked quite good together. A few pieces with red…
Kandy G. Lopez is a portrait artist who’s currently working with yarn on gridded canvas. I got to see her work at the Orlando Museum of Art. Check out this large piece! (Maybe 10 feet wide.) Now, get closer. And closer, still. Amazing, right? Her portraits were very engaging. They were very large and in…
When I posted about the house my brother is restoring it was one of my most popular posts ever! So, I thought you’d like an update on this home in rural Virginia. It’s called Mountain Glen, was built around 1860, and is located on a farm my brother bought. Initially he repaired just the basics,…
How exciting to see my name on the wall of a gallery! The opening reception for my exhibit was on Friday, August 22nd. I was really pleased with it. The artwork was beautifully lit and hung and the colors looked very joyful. This was the primary view upon entering, (before others arrived.) I was especially…
I’m very excited to have a solo show coming up soon, in Bedford, VA! It’s been A LOT of work to prep, pack, and ship the 31 pieces that will be on display. And somehow things always take longer than I expect. Still, a GOOD reason to be busy! I’ve recently changed my hanging sleeve…
After cutting my primed slats to length it was time to add the D rings. The venue wanted the D rings set wider than the sleeve, so I measured accordingly. This was my prototype. I checked to see that it wouldn’t show from the front, (using my test set up in the garage.) I found…
I’m very excited to have a solo show coming up in August, in Bedford, VA! I’ve been super busy prepping for it. First, I had to find all the pieces: 32 in all! I’m a stickler for having my work hang nicely: flat, with no hardware showing. The venue shared information about their hanging hardware…
My husband and I recently had our kitchen remodeled and I’m loving it! I did a very poor job of providing a before photo. This one of my husband installing the oven will give you the idea: oak cabinets, aqua wall, no backslash, no cabinet hardware, and formica counter tops. It was time! Adding quartz…
I recently finished this quilt, Ring Toss. After STARTING OVER TWICE I feel like a deserve a medal! You can see the first rendition in my earlier post. It brought me here. I didn’t like it and started to pick out seams and consider how to rearrange things. I knew I had to cut many shapes…
I recently got to participate in a very cool event. I belong to an organization called SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates.) The Florida region had an all day event called Art, Meet, and Greet. It was a blast! We got to see a regional exhibit, earn door prizes, participate in a regional meeting, have Show…
