I think we always have to remember to move forwards in life. Sometimes things happen and they slow us down , but we have to look at what we have created in our life, our accomplishments , our children to see the real meaning .
My studio and work are a real accomplishment for me and as I move higher on my path I must remember to honor myself.

Life is Practice


These small collages are part of my new works.. I call them meditation boxes. This one in particular has very soothing
colours of pinks, reds , and hues of orange and purple. The words say Effort to stay there is called practice. The feather a reminder of flight. It is an effort to work , to love , to create
to run, to practice yoga... we must practice. A little each day.

Mother's day


This blog is in memory of my dear mother.
Her name was Billie.. how fitting for her.
She was beautiful in her youth and years beyond.
She met my father in Asheville, as both had TB and were
recovering. It was a romance that is rare these days... I often
wondered what truly drew them together.. Ernest and Billie
But look at this photo as I often do , she had that rare beauty and charm.. a Grace Kelly look. So on this Mother's Day I honor My dear mother Billie...who I miss so dearly. Billie.....

Not really a fiber piece but a photograph of my most beloved moonflower. My mother who has passed on taught me the beauty of these flowers. I get them in the spring usually as small plants
and by mid June they start to climb and form these flowers that bloom at night by the light and power of the moon. They are somewhat magical as they have an intoxicating aroma and are so perfect with that delicate star in the center. Later on towards fall they produce seeds which you can replant the following spring. This blog is in honor of my mother whose name was Billie .
