"I want to be an artist when I grow up."
Cities
Summer in the City
88" x 42"
Big bold flowers. I can imagine them painted onto the side of a warehouse or a parking garage. Inspired by a sample from DelveMIY. Machine quilted and machine raw-edge appliqué.
This quilt lives with friend Aly.
Assisi Skyline
54" x 16"
Our happy place. We spend many evenings on the terrace at "our" litte famhouse looking up to the Assisi skyline. I see the San Francesco Basilica, the temple of Minerva, a figment of my imagination, Basilica of Santa Chiara and San Rufino.
These linens were purchased in Montefalco. Their rustic appearance reflects Saint Francis of Assisi.
City Triptych
44" x 40"
Isn't this a gorgeous piece of fabric? It's a digital print by Hoffman. When I found the variagated piece in my stash, I knew they belonged together. At an Artist Retreat in Lake Tahoe, one of the painters looked at the two fabrics on the design wall and said, "This needs to be a triptych." Why didn't I think of that!
Gifted to realtor friend Rowena.
Boston Window
40" x 40"
My husband took this photo at a park in Boston. I love the perspective. Raw edge appliqué and paints. Both techniques are new to me!
Ravello: The Villa on the Hilla
24" x 36"
Please check out the next photo taken by my husband from inside our villa (on the hilla) in Ravello, Italy. His photo was the inspiration for an Artful Log Cabin taught by Katie Pasquini Masopust at Sisters in 2018. These abstract log cabins are addictive. This will be the first in a series.
This quilt lives with BFF Kristin, who found the villa on the hill in Ravello, Italy.
Jack's photo
Jack's ordinal photo taken from inside our villa on the hill (sans the vertical door).
Lookin' Up
35" x 35"
My vision was of someone standing in an intersection in a city looking up to see the tops of all the buildings. I love working with wedge rulers, and consider black and white fabrics to be the printed versions of Zentangles. Can you see the sky?
