JanuMarch

This is a banner day.  Typically February is the most difficult month of the year for me.  I got in the habit of calling it JanuMarch basically skipping the month altogether.  It makes sense since death anniversaries are in this month.  Today was one of those anniversaries and I didn't even flinch.  In fact I went to a concert with a dear friend and enjoyed every minute.  I know that surrounding me with creativity is healing my heart.  The studio, the looms, making beautiful art and sharing all that with others is bringing joy back into this coldest of months.  I may be able even to say its name again without hesitation. 

CHELLI TRANSCENDENT
 (a needle felted piece in memory of Chelli, my cockatiel, a dear little bird)



I have been weaving for nearly 50 years creating both functional and visual art pieces. My art pieces are produced by blending painting and weaving to create an effect that tries to break the natural grid on the loom. I teach weaving too. For over 20 years, I have worked with inner-city children at the Neighborhood Art House, an after-school program. Last year I opened my own weaving studio to teach adults at the Studio at St. Mary's: Space to Create.
