Cutie Pies in the Sky Update July 2013

Still building the layers of this piece, a little larger format than previous works and it takes a while to see all of the forms and creatures. Need to adjust a few colors and get more movement.

The Quilt Show Feb 2013


Drawing with Auntie

During my visit, I got to spend some time drawing and creating with my sister's two wonderful kids...lots of imaginative fun...

FT at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art

In Feb I went to visit my parents in VA. Mom and I spent a day touring the Virginia Museum of Fine Art. They have a wonderful space and some great pieces. This is one of my favorite by the artist Fred Tomaselli,
entitled Woodpecker (2008). The collage and painted details are a true inspiration.

Hand Drawn Holiday Cards

Years ago we use to send out hand drawn holiday cards. I didn't call them Christmas cards because only on a few occasions did I actually make the December 25th deadline. They were pen and ink pieces with a very brief news letter/update inside. As our family grew and changed so did the cards. Here are a few of these fun timeless slices of our life.
