DECADE: 2010s

My studio is the out of doors. That's where I take my pictures, that's where I find my
inspiration, that's where my ideas spring forth. Back in the 2010s I started incorporating
these images into my art. Rocks are a particular focus of mine, the large expanse of
rock exposed in the deserts of Arizona, California, and Utah. Multicolored, etched with
nature's designs, they
provide me with a palette
of color and line that I
incorporate into my quilts.
Trees, their bark, their
growth pattern add to the
possibilities.

These elements come
together through the use
of the computer which
allows me to slice and
dice my images, layer
them, adjust them, blend
them, and manipulate
them in myriad ways. All
the time I am reliving
those precious moments
during which I was out
trekking through nature
even though now I am just
sitting at home and those
exciting moments are but
memories.
