My sister and brother-in-law, Christy and Marshall, were visiting from Boulder City, NV last week. During their visit we took a road trip to visit a winery they particularly enjoy — Van Ruiten Winery is in Lodi, about 1 1/2 hours from the Bay Area. Our mild winter weather made the trip easy and very […]
I love going to solo exhibits of art quilts. I get a chance to see a body of work by one artist and that can be revealing, surprising and — did I mention fun? The only thing better is when I know the artist. I slipped under the wire for seeing this exhibit advertised as […]
I’m a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) and I share the role of Representative for the Northern California/Nevada region with Sandy Wagner. I had the pleasure of hosting Sandra Sider, President of SAQA, at my home earlier this month. She was in town for other business and graciously offered to conduct a session […]
The reception for my solo exhibit Borrowed From Nature, was held on Saturday, October 22, from 6 – 8 p.m. One of the nice things about the artist receptions at Creative Framing & Gallery is that they are held several weeks after the exhibit opens — it acts more as a closing reception. Some of […]
309 art quilts were donated for the 2011 SAQA Auction, raising $52,100! I’d call that a raging success actually. The funds raised through the Auction are critical to supporting SAQA’s exhibitions, catalogs and outreach programs. And I was lucky enough to be high bidder on Elemental Surprise by Janice McKeehan of Houston, Texas. […]
I recently attended a shower for my nephew and his bride — this is their first child and first grandchild for both sets of parents. Can we say EXCITEMENT? ANTICIPATION? BLESSINGS? There were friends, family, food and tons of fun photos (check, check, check and double-check). It was quite a nice event. I took 2 […]
309 one-foot square art quilts have been donated for SAQA’s 2011 Benefit Auction. Check them out now and mark your calendar — the frenzy begins Monday, September 12 at 2 p.m. Eastern time and, believe me, they will go fast. I’m coveting several myself. I did not donate this year but I have donated a quilt […]
I was invited to join eight other artists for the Textiles and Tastings 2011 exhibit opening September 1 at the Shenandoah Gallery in Plymouth, CA. This will be the first time my work has been exhibited at a winery and I’m quite excited about the potential. I will have 4 pieces in the exhibit. One-Color Landscape is […]
Seven members of Postmark’d Art donated 20 fabric postcards for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative auction which took place on line in early July and brought in $916.00. The AAQI is a national, grassroots charity whose mission is to raise awareness and fund research. The AAQI auctions and sells donated quilts, and sponsors a nationally touring […]
Eight members of Postmark’d Art contributed 23 fabric postcards to support the Alzhemier’s Art Quilt Initiative raise funds for Alzhemier’s research. The auction begins July 1st and runs through the 10th. Please consider bidding and sharing this information with friends. We’d all love to hear that a cure has been found. The postcard I contributed […]
Studio Art Quilt Associates is having their annual benefit auction of foot-square quilts beginning in September. I have donated a quilt for the last three years. Here’s the piece I contributed for the 2009 auction. You can view all the quilts that were auctioned in 2010, quilts donated for the 2011 auction and learn how the […]
