In the studio, this summer has been a busy time! I have been gathering new inspirations and beginning new works of contemporary textile art!
We are also getting ready for a workshop in August at Eucalyptus Massage & Healing Arts. They so graciously hosted my first solo art exhibit, Lifeweavings: A Creative Journey, in February, and I look forward to meeting with them again to explore, encourage, and share with others who are taking their own creative journeys!
What do we gather during our lives that influences, inspires, and contributes to our artistic abilities, interests, skills…and our designs & creations!?
We will explore the life stages and use creativity to experiment with the design process, using our own artistic/creative medium of expression (painters, jewelry-makers, writers, etc.)! You will be encouraged to take steps–even small ones, or micro-movements!–towards your own unique goals as a creative person…
Interactive activities, mind-mapping, and discussions will be used as a guide for considering what creativity is, generating new ideas, and sharing your inspirations with other artists/creative people!
Our overall goal will be to have fun, enjoy sharing ideas, and being inspired!!

The first day of summer is here at last!! And with summer came a flurry of busyness for me–the opposite of what we expect or dream about..
I have been taking trips, working in the yard, and planting colorful flowers in the garden. [These aren’t in my yard 🙂 ] It feels great to have warm, sunny days after the coldness of this past winter.
With a change of pace and time for new experiences, I am now inspired to be in the studio to work on new textile art and creative projects!
Flamenco Swirl #1 is the first in a series that expresses my memories of the exciting colors and movement of a Spanish dancer’s amazingly expressive and exciting performance! (Two other pieces of this series are in earlier posts. They may be seen in the Art Gallery)
I hope to add new pieces to this series very soon! The passion and deep felt emotions with which these dances are performed greatly inspire me to create…
Sometimes I move a project to the front porch and enjoy the breeze, the warmth of the sun, and the sound of the birds singing…
Ah… In the good old summertime!
