I’ll be displaying my work at the Great Falls Studios booth at the Great Falls Farmer’s Market in the Village Center tomorrow, Saturday May 29, from 9 AM – 1 PM. I’ll have several new pieces that I haven’t shown here before, including “Impressions of Paynes Prairie,” at right. In addition, I’ll have other contemporary quilted wall art, colorful pillows and journal covers, and note cards for sale.
I created “Impressions” specifically for a show in my hometown, Gainesville, Florida, that ran earlier this year. The theme was quilts depicting natural Florida, so I created this impressionistic landscape of a local hiking area near where I grew up. If you click on the image, you’ll be able to see the dense free form quilting in this piece, including stylized flowers, pebbles, cloud formations, walkways and waves. I had a lot of fun drawing with my needle and thread on this piece.
If you’re in the Great Falls area tomorrow, stop by and say hello–I’d love to see you!
