I haven’t done much, really any, work with textiles over the last 6 months. Once I finished my house plants quilt my desire to work on anything whimsical dried up and I just wasn’t interested in doing anything but working on my photography.

So we all find ourselves in a situation right now that is totally foreign to the way we are accustomed to living our lives. Social distancing, shelter in place, schools are closed, retail shops hanging closed signs on the door and everyday the news gets scarier and scarier.

I’ve been … Continue reading

I haven’t had much time for writing blog posts lately because I’ve been keeping my focus on being in the studio creating new work.
