About the artist
My Rubio Garden, Iowa
Member Since October 2018
Artist Statement Color, Color, Color – I love Color – always have – always will. Once a creative inspiration hits me – I am off and running – obsessed and over the top. Enough is never enough!
Painting was my first creative obsession - very large – abstract - expressive oil paintings to be exact. I loved stretching canvas on the wall and creating with oil paint, oil sticks, Damar Varnish and Stand Oil. My paintings were messy, drippy and full of movement and color!
As I neared my 40’s - I learned how to quilt from my Aunt Helen and Orpha. I loved designing quilt tops and picking out fabrics. I took great pride in hand quilting like my Aunt Helen and Orpha (and both my Grandmothers) – but I think it took me over 2,000 hours to complete my first quilt!
In 2005 I purchased a Quaker Church Building in Rubio Iowa. Gardening and Renovations took over the next ten years of my life and my yard became a Living Painting. After ten years of building my gardens I bought my first digital camera. This led me down the path to my current Works of Art where I combine my love of gardening and flowers - through photographs - with my love of designing quilts and creating digital oil paintings!
