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.

What better way to share than the very
traditional with the future.
