"NOISE POLLUTION"; 15" X 20"; 2004;
This is the first in a series entitled "Diversity" and the first
made from materials other than fabric. This photo collage is
made from my own artwork, rearranged, together with a few
elements from other sources. Foam Board, paper, lots of
glue, poster board and ribbon.

"Harvest" was constructed from my art, photos of
graffiti from alleys in our city, plus computer
graphics. The print is about 15" X 30" and thought
provoking. I took the photos of all the gang graffiti;
some days we took over thirty different "designs". I
would rather take photos of clouds, or flowers, or
ducks on the river. At least there is no graffiti on
those things. ... so far.

"VILLAGE AT NIGHT:
(VAN GOGH INSPIRED);
51" X 61"; 2007
Accepted into the 52nd Annual Central
Washington Artists Exhibition, Yakima,
Washington 2007
There must be something about Dutch
painters that inspire interpretations in
fiber. I'm not sure what it is, but will
post it when I figure it out.
This is also too wonderful for words.

"BREWS AND POTIONS";
28" X 29"; I have more fabric
than paint. The background is
a photo collage of ice cubes;
the bottles, labels and caps
are fabric, glued on foam
board. Great design, terrible
method. I think I'll buy some
paints.

This quilt holds gentle singers and a replica in fabric of my Stella
Guitar, a gift I received for my 17th birthday. At that time all I wanted
was to become a Beatnik, only I could never figure out what one was!

"THE ROCK CONCERT"; 44" x 48";
This is the best so far. The "Diva" was inspired by the "Venus of Willendorf" (with lots
of artistic license!) and the "boys in the band" just evolved (no pun intended) from the
fabric on the worktable. The "audience" have beaded headdresses and seem to
enjoy the performance very much. There are interesting additional embellishments
hidden under the loincloths.
Cotton fabrics; beads, charms, buttons and embroidery floss outlines.

"CIRCLE FLOWERS";
about 18" square. Another
fabric collage. Better than the
first one, but still doesn't
"soar". Fabric, foam board
and glue. Lots of glue. A
photo of this work looks much
better than the original.

Using the Periodic Table of the
Elements is a great way to start a
project. The remainder of the
design just happened. I took a few
artistic liberties and added some
music and a heartbeat. After all, if
music isn't in the official table of
the elements, it should be. 60" X
70"; 1998
Tom Lehrer thought so too.

This is a smaller version. It didn't "soar" but was
fun to make. Lots of beads. Heavy sucker. All
cotton fabrics. Hand quilted. 1999.

The tagging on the fences, dead

house are so commonplace they
are becoming a part of our folk
