Creating,
a walk
thru life.
Often, as we travel through life we are challenged to go an extra step. As
my children grew I realized they would someday be on their own and that I needed to create a world where I could continue
to travel while their lives went down a different lane. I returned to college and to growing in my creativity. I learned to
communicate not only with others but with the inner being within me. I learned this being need to be free to grow and to always
be challenged. In the 60's I learned to abstract from what my eyes saw to what my mind's eye interpreted. In the 70's I grasped
many of the realities of life, while in the 80's I dealt with those realities and grew. In the 90's I have arrived at a crossroad
and have made choices which would have been impossible at any other time, hoping that in the new millenium I will arrive where
God has shown me the way to go. |

About me &
My Quilts
Many, (many?) years ago my grandmother took me to my first 'quilting' in the church basement. I don't think I was
much more than 6 or 7 at the time but all the same I was hooked(sewn). As achild I learned todo anything I could with a needle
and then discovered drawing. My grandmothers were two of the most influential and wonderful people in my development of my
skills and so I suppose would have to be considered in any creative endeavor I attempt (including these pages). I hope you
will enjoy your travels through my journey's as an artist and will share with me your thoughts.
