Debuting at the International Quilt Festival

Two Traveling Exhibitions
With two of my art pieces at the festival!

“Sunset Among the Tree” 20×20

The “Bob Ross” Cherrywood challenge exhibit

 

“The Coral World” 30×50

The “A Better World” exhibit

The International Quilt Festival opens on October 31, and runs through November 3, 2019.  I am honored to be part of both these traveling exhibits.   Every year I try to make at least one small quilt, and I did with the “Sunset Among the Trees” 20″x 20″ for the Bob Ross juried exhibition.  I then was invited to participate in the juried exhibit “A Better World,”  I accepted the challenge to create a large quilt the “Coral World” a 30″ x 50.”  Large quilts are a bit out of my comfort zone, but because the theme was so important to me I had to try.  I am glad that I did!

The exhibition “A Better World,” honors hero’s who are making or made a difference in our world. I choose to honor the movie makers of “Chasing Coral” which is educating the public about the plight of the coral reef (the movie can be found on Netflix.)  I am glad that I also participated in the Bob Ross exhibit because for me it honors a man who made a difference in bring art to households through out the world.

If you are attending the festival I hope you get a chance to go by and see them, and make sure you check the schedules for the meet and greet, and hopefully we will meet.

If you are not able to go to see these wonderful exhibition in person, their is information on them online:

For A Better World Exhibition, a website has been provide to see the quilts, the heroes they are honoring, and about their creators.  Also, If you would like to share this beautiful exhibition with friends and family  a book is available of all the quilts that were invited to participate in this exhibit through Amazon.

A book and a poster  is also available for all the quilts that were accepted to the Bob Ross Cherrywood Challenge at Cherrywood Fabrics.

Thinking Outside the Box

I am finding out that approaching what I do with a different twist allows me to see the beauty around me and what I create in a beautiful new light.  This does not mean totally changing what I do, it just means bringing different elements into the picture, for example...

Internal Exploration

Exploration has been a core theme in my art, especially when it comes to exploring the outside world and all it has to offer in inspiring my next creation.  Since I have been in school, exploration is taking me to look on creating art through the lens of technique,...

The Act of Creating

"Awakening into Beauty" Chaos is a good way to describe the first two months of this year, so many things are happening which are so confusing that it is easy to do nothing but be paralyzed by the uncertainty of what may happen next.  Instead of being powerless, I...

Wind of Change

It is that time of year when change is evident as a new season arrives.  Where I live it is fall, and looking out the window, I see trees transforming from green to vibrant yellow, oranges and reds, and it is beautiful, but at the same time it reminds me that life is...

Dance with the Imagination!

Creating art is a dance with the imagination!  You haven’t heard from me in a while, because I’ve been in a deeply creative space, dancing with endless possibilities of expression. It’s a place where joy overflows. In a world where chaos is so prevalent, we all need a...

A Whole New Light

It is always a bit frightening to share a part of who you are as an artist especially when you feel like you are not being the best creative version of yourself self that you can be. I was feeling stuck in a creative slump when I wrote the last newsletter.  As most of...
