For an idea of the wildly diverse content of my trunk show imagine a decades long journey of introspection creatively translated. Inspiring makers of all types to tap into their inner world for inspiration and outward expression, my show focuses largely on my more than 30 year art-quilt career and unique process.
Following a trunk show with over thirty examples from my more than thirty years as an artist, the classes I offer also incorporate the insights I gained as a professional counselor and counselor trainer. Primarily, the focus of my trunk show and classes center on creating from the inside out in diverse applications! This is a process anyone can apply to any media. My trunk show largely focuses on art-quilts with a few fiber arts and painting examples thrown in to emphasize the process rather than the choice of media.
We all have a story to tell, a question to explore or wound to heal. Creative expression is a fertile ground for bringing that richness to life through the work of our hands. Weather you enjoy traditional, modern, improv or figurative quilting, the art of bringing personal insights and storytelling into your work is easier than you may think. I offer tips and tricks for accessing what most wants to be expressed in your life at the moment. Then I encourage and demonstrate how that can be translated in any style.
My class is not about teaching a particular method or style of quilting. I teach participants how to tap deeply into their own inner well of unique expression and creatively bring to life a piece of work that reflects their innermost thoughts and feelings. Abstract and representational work utilizing the technical skills you already use are at the heart of the work each participant will create in this two day class.

The process of Creative Transmutation is the use of creative energy for personal exploration, intuitive development, insight and healing.
As an introduction to using creativity for meditation and personal exploration I offer classes in the art of Creative Transmutation (CT) and Mindfulness . Here students get a taste for the magic that happens when tapping into and creating from their own well of stillness. They touch upon the relationship that can be formed between their normal state of consciousness and an expanded awareness that arises in carefully invited ah-ha moments of silence and sudden inspiration.
All Art of Mindfulness and CT classes are offered in group settings to various organizations dedicated to service and healing. An honorarium is asked to cover expenses. Student fees are received on a donation basis from participants. No one is turned away.
Felted wool and twig nests are needle sculpted around rocks, stones or crystals. This meditative art form juxtaposes the hard and soft aspects of life, nature, and nurture.
Intricately wrapped and knotted reeds and hemp adorn ordinary rocks or precious stones in this meditative practice of creative mindfulness.
Meditation Ink Painting utilizes the imagery of stones to enter into a state of creative meditation and mindfulness with the simple tools of ink, paper and brush.
Small stones are imprinted for well-being, and needle felted in a variety of merino wool fibers. Essential oil and cords can be added to wear as a fragrant pendant or talisman.
Mindfulness is the focus of the classes listed above.
Class examples are in the gallery below.
