Artist’s Statement
On trips, it is my habit to keep a sketchbook in my purse and draw during wait times. In it, for some reason, I frequently make up weird bugs. This is a bug collage, and the “Little Man” is a commentary on bugs as co-animals.
Biographical Information
Living in northeast Georgia, in a rural area, I am now retired from teaching art in a public high school and practice designing and weaving almost every day. For me, tapestry is deeply compelling in its complexity of texture, depth of color, and ability to convey my intentions.
