"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."Pablo Picasso
My art is a means of keeping my sanity, it soothes my soul and helps me attain a peaceful state of mind when I need it. I also love the challenge of teaching myself how to use new mediums, often losing myself for hours as I experiment with something different, and forgetting about the stresses life often throws my way.
In the past 6 years I have taught myself quilting, which quickly transformed into making and selling art quilts, as well as designing and selling quilt patterns. I have also taught myself how to paint using acrylics, as well as doing portraits with colored pencils. More recently I have returned to a couple of old loves; photography and writing, often combining all of these mediums into one piece of work.
Here you will find a little of everything, from ACEOs to quilted fabric pieces. I hope you take the time to browse through the various pages, and maybe soothe your soul a little during your stay.
