New work! I guess, in my mind, the possibilities of expressing that possibilities are endless…are endless! I particularly loved doing all the hand stitching on this one.

Guillaume Desanges speaking during a curator talk about two of my pieces hung in the show, “Matters of Concern”. I wish I could have heard what he had to say! The exhibit is up until July 6th at La Verriere gallery in Brussels.
Finally finished! It’s a larger piece than usual for me but I really loved the process of working on this (not always the case!). The creating flowed and the niggling voice of self doubt stayed quiet.
Today I shipped four pieces to Belgium to be part of the exhibition, “Matters of Concern” at La Verriere gallery in Brussels!

I just finished the latest installment of my Life Goes On series.
Life Goes On V
Here’s a closer look:
This new piece evolved from a large charcoal sketch drawn during a life drawing class to this layered exploration of our interconnectedness with the world. My fascination with our relationship with billions of microbial fellow travelers was a huge influence! Again, I highly recommend the book, I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong.
Doing a more figurative piece is a new stretch for me. I’d welcome some feedback!

I’m happy to share that I’m now being represented online by American Artwork. I encourage you to check out their beautifully curated site. I’ll also be part of their upcoming print edition of new art work.
Seed Dreaming I
This fall in order to try to stretch my creative chops, I took a semester long Life Drawing class. The last time I did this was a hundred years ago in college and it took some time to get used to the messiness and loveliness of working with charcoal again. Each week we had a different model, all shapes and sizes and drew for over 2 hours.
I loved it. I’d leave each class covered in charcoal dust. I do think it was helpful for me to do something away from fabric and get back to looking and drawing again.
I have some ideas brewing on how to integrate elements of these drawings into my next fiber piece…we’ll see.
I was contacted by Rebeca Schiller, editor of visually sumptious Hand/Eye magazine to be interviewed for an article titled “Invented Biology”about my art. I think she did a really good job of coherently conveying why and what I do from my oftentimes meandering answers. I’m grateful for this opportunity. I encourage you to check it out as well as taking a look at this beautiful, interesting online publication.
