Join Me at a Virtual Reception

On Friday, April 30th, I’ll be participating in a virtual art reception and talking about the piece above, Melting Pot.

The occasion is the opening of “Floridian Flavors” at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, in Tarpon Springs, FL. Pieces in the exhibit are all fiber, made by the Florida artists of Studio Art Quilt Associates, (SAQA.) Artists were asked to respond to the culture, cuisine, and characters of Florida. The result is a diverse collection of work, with playful pieces inspired by tourists to more serious ones about global warming. At the virtual reception, four other artists will also be talking about their work, including some in-progress photos.

Join the Zoom reception at 6 PM EDT on April 30th. Click here to do so.

And, if you’re in the Tarpon Springs area, be sure to visit the exhibit in person. It runs May 4th through August 15th.

    My quilt, Daydream, recently won a Second Place award at an exhibit in Vero Beach, FL. The exhibit was to celebrate the gallery’s 15th anniversary, so the pieces were supposed to be joyful and upbeat. I thought this piece fit the bill and, apparently, the judge did as well. This was a mixed media exhibit, so it…

  • Project Resurrected

    Remember the “project that wasn’t?”  After sketching it I decided not to proceed with it.  My issue was that it looked too jumbled, and therefore didn’t accurately depict the plant that inspired me.
