Art has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. Art is what keeps my mind and body young and active. Influencing me are close up observations of old buildings in Italy and France. Tiny fragments of old cloth combined to make a whole.

Decay is beautiful. Did you every take a walk in the woods? The smell of the earth, the feel of the soft breezes and rain refreshes everything Touch the bark, listen to water rippling and birds singing brings me to a place that creativity begins.

 

 Artists influencing my work are Mark Rothko’s simple haunting works and Agnes Martin that impels you to look closely at her subtle marks. I come from a long line of quilters in my birth place Western Kentucky. Quilters from Gee's Bend, Alabama inspired me to be free with my fabric.  Japanese Boro quilts made be feel humble and Indian Kanta cloth help me to see how beautiful every small scrap of fabric was precious in a world where things were made by hand.

 

The image of a circle is found in all of my work for many decades and it is a symbol used since the beginning of time. I use the circle to represent all possibilities but it can mean no possibility and I choose to go the path of all possibilities.
