For as long as I’ve been alive I have always had visions. It’s hard to write that down, because even as I write it I can feel my readers turning away! What I really mean is that my ‘thoughts’ are all in pictures— images and colors, shapes and patterns that move across my mind in a continuous dance. When I was invited back to the Mount St. Francis Gallery, I knew that here I could safely tell my own stories, weave my own inner visions down onto the fabrics.

There was little thought put into what I would portray…rather, it was a freedom to simply open the heart and let the fabrics flow. There are no surprises here, no hidden messages— rather it is a virtual diary of how  I ‘felt’ during this past year of artistic freedom.

If I am asked to choose a piece to sum it up, I would say it’s ‘Christ with Hawk and Dragonflies’. I chose this piece because to me it’s a perfect blend of gentleness and courage. It sums up the way I try to walk through Life as my own body wends its way through its last few years and looks toward the Heavens.
