Line dancing

This is the third in the series.

I love watching the turbines. When they are all traveling exactly the same, I love that rhythm. But sure enough, one or two get themselves out of sequence and then the fun begins.

Line Dancing

Watching the group perform, 

resembling a country western dance, 

mostly in unison, 

always a few who don’t know their right from their left.

Sun Salutation

This is the second in the five piece series.

Sun Salutation

Bold turbines, 

set among the hills and rocky areas of New Zealand, 

 add yoga to their repertoire,

 raising their arms in worship of the sun.

WindSong

This is the first of five pieces I created for this show. I call it WindSong. I was interested in making complex backgrounds with stylized turbines.

Turbines make for perfect art forms or is it art farms (haha). There are three blades forming a perfect hexagonal shape. They generally exist in clusters, providing unity, proximity and rhythm. They are big and bold, existing in mountains, green fields and oceans which provide splendid backdrops. To me they are reminiscent of Jean Claude and Christo's major art installations around the world. Yet they also provide energy. What's not to like about that.

WindSong

Viewed against a background of mountains 

in the California desert, 

wind turbines spin together 

when the Santa Ana winds blow.

Five Working in Fiber

I was invited to participate in a Fiber Art show with four other very talented artists. We have been planning as a group and working as individual artists for over a year now. The first show opens on February 1 at the Architectural Heritage Center in downtown Portland. You are cordially invited to attend the show and/or artist's reception.  If you are in the vicinity, do stop by.  We would love to see you. Here are the details:

And then there is this gem...

Doing some of this right now!

About a Stash!!!!!

Doesn't this just say it all...

SAQA Purchase

This little quilt that I made and donated to SAQA, an organization that supports fiber artists, was sold at the Houston International Quilt Festival. It’s always a little nerve racking to put yourself out there and you hope for the best. I was thrilled to learn that my work was one of the first chosen. I am glad that someone will enjoy it and that SAQA will benefit because they give a lot to me. I am looking forward to finding out who purchased it.
