Viola






When I was a teen

I learned to embroider..

and I fell in love with stitching..











and I remember
saying that I would be happy

stitching art pieces

for the rest of my life...

but my knowing grandmother said..







don't limit yourself to one thing that you love..

there are so many you can do...




 


To see my little stitch book

that I named Viola...

Abstract Art



I have always been an artist..

my family gave me that title as a toddler..

I remember when my 1st grade teacher asked us to draw a picture of

our family

my people looked different from the regular 
stick people..

my father had a suit and my mother wore a 

faux Chanel suit complete with pearls!







I loved drawing, painting and sewing..

and trying new things 

which was discouraged


because I was told I should be a painter

when I found 
Mixed Media
I knew I had found a home..

I was finally able to do all the things I loved under one 

Large umbrella...

Why are artists pigeon holed?
for something as expansive as creative talent..
it is absurd...
to try to corral talent..






 
I did a lot of abstract paintings in school..

all which are lost to me now and perhaps were never signed..

but my point of all this is artists should enjoy the freedom to create anything they desire..

without being told to reign in their muse...

so this new painting 

is titled... 

Into The Morning..


it evokes new beginnings and possibilities...

and it is in my



Thanks for listening!!

Psyche




Her name is

Psyche..

and 






I thought it would be quite difficult to create

a book about a creature representing a


Soul...








but actually 
when I saw the below photo of the 

shadow of the photographer...





I thought that the shadow was a perfect

idea of the reflection of the person..

the 

soul..




the pockets always represent the hidden  parts of us

that we often keep quiet..




 and 
then there are the

bits that are the decoration of 

personality...

She will be finished soon
