| This color saturated acrylic yarn is not something I would want to wear, but it's held up well here for several months now |

I am pleased to announce that I have been invited by Denver Botanic Gardens to participate in their "garden gallery" tour on August 4th, 2007. This will give you an opportunity to visit my garden and see my artwork as well. I'm pleased with the August date --- it will give my grass garden and container plantings a chance to really grow in---things should be looking great then!
My challenge will be to figure out a clever way to display my fiber pieces outdoors. All suggestions welcome!
Sneak preview: Photo above shows a detail of "Cultivation." Stay tuned for more information on this event!
I am still enjoying the Fall foliage, even though most of it is on the ground now. I move piles around from here to there, using them as a loose, light mulch. The artwork, pictured above, was inspired by the idea of layers of fallen leaves and their dancing journey to the ground.
To see more of my fiber art, please visit my website.
Fiber Translations is an exhibit of fiber art by four Denver area artists (including yours truly!) that is now on view in the Radius Gallery at Lakewood's Heritage Center. The work includes both two and three dimensional pieces that reflect the artists' interpretations of the seen and unseen world around us. Each artist has a unique voice and a unique vision---individual translations, if you will. My work is inspired, of course, by both the natural and man-made landscape; colors, themes, and assemblage techniques all reflect the ever changing organic world in which we live.
The gallery is located in the Visitor Center at 801 S. Yarrow (Wadsworth and Ohio). Hours: 10 am to 4 pm, Mon-Fri, and noon to 4 pm Sat.
I live a circular life. From my previous post you can see that I use my understanding of the elements and principles of art to create and analyze landscape designs. But from my artwork pictured here, a detail from my fiber piece Summer Sojourn, You can see that my work as a landscape designer informs my art. I spend a lot of time looking at the world around me, and I work hard to really see it. The trick is to learn to then visualize things that may be hidden from view, or better yet, as they could be.
I live a circular life---not that there's anything wrong with that!
