Wrapped

                          "Wrapped"

I was asked to participate in "Wrapped" a year end exhibit at Studio Channel Islands Art Center Camarillo, CA. The exhibit highlighted four artists careers in art. For myself the curator Peter Tyas selected textiles from many of my series or installations. I was very honored to be asked. He selected "Moss Beach" from my "View From Above Series". Indigo works from my "Thoughts of the Mind" Installation. "Color x 3, orange" from my "Images" series and" Water Bubbles" from the current Installation I am working on titled "Pacific Ocean".

Also slected "Drought Destruction" from my Alviso series of which I recently sold three of those textiles to a collector.

Before and After the Drought

                               Alviso, Before & After, 48h x 54w-Just Sold!

While looking at before and after the drought photographs of the Alviso Salt marshes it really jarred my sensibilities. This is my interpretation of how I felt.

This textile recently sold at The California Heritage Museum, Santa Monica, California  in the Art Quilts 2 exhibit!
