The Best Laid Plans
For this prompt, I wanted to explore the concept of the artist who decides to rework a completed painting. Sometimes the problem is a fault in technique, color, scale, proportion, or even composition. They are so dissatisfied with the piece that they scrape off the existing paint, or paint over
Not My People
This quilt represents my thoughts on a major change of mind experienced recently by a loved one. It is a collaboration, as I was affected, but I did not personally experience the situations. There are three time periods represented, beginning at the bottom with: Temptation, chaos, selfish choices, irresponsibility, immaturity,
When the World Falls Away
A visual exploration of mindfulness.
Woman’s(Man’s)Heart is like the Autmn Sky
What are the people passing by in the city thinking and feeling. This is a common urban landscape “What do you think?” “How are you feel?” When the mind and brain are aligned, people can easily act. However, a person sometimes has a conflict between the mind and the brain.
Mothballs 2
A new challenge for the project with the theme “Change of Mind”. In this work I have changed my thoughts several times. Normally, when I have a new theme, I start with a new quilt. This time I did it differently inspired by the book, “Double Vision Quilts” by Louisa

It’s in the coins where I found inspiration I remembered many stories in my life which featured coins Every Christmas when we were young children, we would visit our grandfather, Roland. He gave us each three precious bright pennies and an orange! In 1991 after the First Gulf War, we
Now For The Weak
Loose change is the small money that people don’t pay much attention to and put in their pockets or other place. When I went shopping overseas, I didn’t know the value of coins, so I opened my coin case wide and asked the cashier to select them for me. I
