 “Heart Wrapped in Fur” was selected to be part of "Surface: A National Juried Exhibition Highlighting the Use of Textures & Patterns in Artwork" at d'Art Center in Norfolk, VA. The show is now open and runs through June 25, 2022. 218 artists submitted work for a total of 781 submissions and only 64 pieces from 60 artists were selected. (Holy cats!) This is my first national juried exhibit and I could not be more thrilled. Creating abundanttexture is often my goal in weaving, and I’m so pleased the jurors saw that in my piece. If you happen to be near the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, stop by to visit the show. It’s also available to view online.

 ...What You Really, Really Want! Did you know I take commissions and special orders? I do! Pictured above is one half of a recently completed commissioned work. Two pieces loosely comprise a diptych and are composed of textural abstract florals, boldly colorful in rich jewel tones to work with the client’s interior color scheme. I also completed a smaller version of my Peony weaving for a local floral designer and love the way it turned out. I’m happy to work with you on custom pieces. Let me know if something tickles your fancy.   "Ray" - Wool, Cotton, Oak. 27"w x 21"h. My most recent piece ("Ray") is a woven wall hanging inspired by abstract expressionist artist, painter Ray Parker. Parker was from the midwest and was most prolific in the 1950s and 60s. He was perhaps most well-known for his Simple Paintings in the color field style, described as featuring joyous, amoebic forms floating on a white background. In color field painting, artists use color and form to express emotion. Does this piece conjure up any feelings?  "Ray" - Wool, Cotton, Oak. 27"l x 21"h. My work - almost a dozen wall hangings and one-of-a-kind modern tassels - will be included in this year’s Birmingham-Bloomfield Art Center (BBAC) Holiday Shop, December 2-21 in Birmingham, Michigan. Open Monday-Saturday 10-6 and Sunday 12-4. Holiday Shop includes dozens of other artists and is a great opportunity to support artists and the art center, buy local and check off your gift list!  |
yarns and snippets is a little corner where I'll share some writing, recording my story in a way that's more comfortable for me - long form over social media. so, a bit of a journal and a record of my work, workshops, markets and weaving and knotting journey.
