Rhetoric...the Ripple Effect
This is my latest work. It visually portrays the effect of words, whether positive or negative as they ripple through a society, a community, a family. We need to be carful and choose our words wisely.

Stepping Out
This is my latest canvas work. I continue with my work using a circular motif. And, for whatever reason, I love long and skinny and that is what this is. It measures only 7 by 21 inches. The canvas is painted and printed and then raw edge pieced. The stitching is done both both by hand and machine.
Many shades of red have been used. You gotta love the color red.
It's ready for matting and framing.
Enjoy!

The Path to Glad, Orange You
Do you remember the Knock-Knock joke from your youth?
Knock, knock, whose there? Banana. Then, repeated over and over. Eventually the teller answers Orange. Orange you Glad I didn't say banana.
The whole time I worked on this piece, that joke popped in. So of course it is the Path to Glad and the subtle reminder of its source--Orange You.
This work involves screen printed and painted canvas, recycled cloth, decomposed screen printing, stenciling, machine stitching and quilting. It makes me glad.

A Quilt Story
A number of years ago, I took a class to learn how to hand dye fabric. The followup to that class was another that required our use of that fabric to make an art quilt. To this point in my short quilting history, most of my work was blue. Any shade of blue would do but yes BLUE!
So I challenged myself to use all colors: the primaries, secondaries and yes even the tertiaries. So this is the work that I produced. The golden rule. I discovered that I like tertiary colors the best. But I never had much use for this quilt. I wasn't sure what I would ever do with it and so it lived in a pile for a long time.
One day, I was inspired to make something new with it. I had an idea and so, boldly cut it up. Here it is in it's new life. What a transformation! I named this Dreaming in Hexicolor. It's 18 inches square.
