1000 Artisan Textiles


Here is the cover--one of my pieces is featured in the
bottom row, 2nd in from the right.  A cover girl at my age!

What a pleasure to have my work included in
the "1000 Artisan Textiles" book due out
May 2010 by Rockport Publishers/Quarry Books.
Thank you Gina M. Brown and also Sandra
Salamony, editor and wonderful artist in her
own right. Directly from them:

"This beautiful collection includes fine artisan examples of 
contemporary textiles and fiber art including quilts, linens, garments,
 wall hangings, and wearable art. A wide variety of techniques
 are featured, including hand and machine embroidery,
 decorative stitching, batik, dyeing, fabric painting, appliquè, felt,
 and all types of surface decoration. Full-color photography
 features both full views as well as close ups that will
 allow readers to appreciate the finer details of many works."

Performance Center for the Arts

I just got back from hanging a second piece in Rock Hill's
new Performance Center for the Arts. Here it is flanked
by Katie Medlock, Technology Coordinator for the
Arts Council of York County. Thanks also
to Harriet (and Martin!) Goode for having me again!

The piece is titled "Venezuelan Symphony" and I made
it as a tribute to my beloved homeland. Be sure to click
to enlarge so as to better see the hand-dyed fabrics.
This is one of several works that will be featured in a
spread in the soon-to-be-released book "1000 Artisan Textiles."
