Well, this has been a while. Holidays over and done \u2013 all good but glad to move on. <\/p>\n

Very excited to be having an exhibition of my work at Imperfect gallery, opening April 4th at 6:00. Titled \u201cPlaces and Spaces\u201d, I\u2019ll be showing both paintings and stitches. <\/p>\n

Much of my work deals with time past (a \u201cPlace\u201d or \u201cSpace\u201d in time as well as physical location) and I like the contrast of the haunting ancientness my landscapes with the relatively short human scale of time in my fiber work. I hope to get across this duality\/contrast in this show. My paintings are representative of the awe I feel of nature, how it adapts and endures \u2014both in subjects close to home and those from my travels. My work with fibers represents memories of family and my connection to women who made things with their hands. The fiber work I\u2019ll be showing is mainly \u201cslow stitch\u201d, hand work which again references time, a slowing down and contemplation.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are unfinished works to get ready\u2014and paintings need time to dry as I work in oils. And then there always one more idea\u2026So that\u2019s where I am right now, stitching, and mounting, framing, and dyeing.<\/p>\n

And a huge shout out to Bob who is making frames for my images! How wonderful is that! <\/p>\n

Of course, new tools were needed!<\/p>\n
