Florida Ice Preview Of Possible Quilts

Some of these Ice Tapestries and Quilts will be in my show at the Ocala City Hall from March 16-April 26th.
Some of them are just teasers. You’ll have to see the show to figure out which ones are a part of the show.
I hope you can make it.

Florida Ice Opens In Less Than A Month!

               
                            SAVE THE DATE


These are the new business cards my son Andy made for me for the show. I mentioned yesterday he brought me something he made and these are it.
He designed and printed them.

I am so pleased with what he was able to do and I couldn’t be prouder of his artistic and design talents.



The show opens March 16th with a reception and I hope I will see you there.
The show is open to the public and there is no admission charge.
Parking is free in a large lot at City Hall.
Hope to see you at the reception.
This is one of the quilts that will be in the show.

All of the work in the show will be for sale.
If you can't make it to the reception you can see the show on any of the dates listed on the card.

My Style As An Artist

Thinking about who I am and what I do as an artist I have some basic “tools” I use as I create no matter what medium I am using.

My current show “Ice Tapestries And Shibori Quilts” pushed me to think about how I work. Questions and comments by visitors to the show also help me clarify my creativity approach.

Color is one of my most important tools. Color can mean so many things and  the way colors work together and play off of each other is evident in my work.

I prefer to pair design down to their simplest form for the greatest visual impact.

Along the way I try to find the most efficient way to construct my work. I also strive to find the easiest way to bring my vision to completion. Often as I am working on something a lightning bolt hits giving me a better way for my next step.

Although I have chosen imperfection as my word for several years, it is something I have a hard time doing. I do use it as my excuse when things don’t work perfectly.
I work in series, although sometimes it is not as evident in my finished work that the varied pieces were part of the same series.

Play is another part of my creativity. I do not attempt to recreate something I’ve already done.

My work comes from deep inside me and cannot be forced. Creating is as necessary to me as breathing.

I march to my own drummer and do not follow the latest pop craze in the art arena.

SIX More Days Until The Opening Reception Of My Solo Show

Here is another sneak peak of one of the 8 galleries of my work in the show. And what you can’t see is what is on the other walls.
Hope you can be there and see it all.

Ice Tapestries and Shibori Quilts

The opening of my solo show at the Anderson Art Center in Kenosha, Wisconsin is now less than 2 months away.

I am just going to share some random quilts from the approximately 80 quilts I have created for the show.

All of the quilts started out with white fabric which I painted and dyed.

I will have the entire art center for my work…8 galleries filled with glorious color.

There are a variety of sizes of pieces in the show.

Many of the pieces are part of coordinated series.

I hope this sampling of the quilts in the show makes makes you want to see all of them in person.
The opening reception for the snow is January 29, 2017 from 1-4 pm at the Anderson Art Center
121 66th St
Kenosha, WI 53143
The show runs through March 8 and the Art Center is open from Tuesday- Sunday 1-4 pm.
I hope I will see YOU at the opening.
