On My Transformation

I have been defining more clearly who I am as an artist, and who I want to be as an artist.

However, when I create a work of art, I tend to follow an intuitive path, allowing the art to take me on its own journey and show me where it wants to go.

On Not "Should"-ing Artists

Peter Temple wrote, "Make something, look at it, and be happy."

Making art is a lot of work. It takes skill, often specialized, and concentrated labor. To make good art requires intelligence and often education.

On Setting Professional Boundaries

Please don't touch the artwork. Please don't touch the quilts.
