would you like mustard with that?

A couple of years ago I was quoted in an article by Rayna Gillman on Working In A Series.  I carried on about how series work was essentially boring and done by those with no other ideas in their head. Of course I was referring to several reknowned quilters who are famous for the same work that looks identical XX#157. 

One thing I have learned in life is anything about which I verbalize repulsion is definitely soon to be my new best friend! In other words the things that we most dislike are what we need to learn.  So I am here to publicly eat my words …with a side of wasabi mustard.

This is my latest work…Currents #15. My Currents series evolved out of my long-time obsession with the curved line. Whenever I free-hand anything whether it be a pencil, a pen or a rotary cutter a curved line is the result.

Recently I read an article geared towards artists which was such a good reminder. And that is if we as artists make work solely for the purpose of turning a buck it will not be our best work. If instead we create from that intuitive place within …magic happens.

So I magically continue onward as I head towards Currents #157!
