The last exhibition of 2023 I participated with Ossining Arts Council, was at Bethany art center in Ossining NY.
Over the summer I was working on 2 exciting pieces:

A new adventure
I am so happy to start this new adventure. This work was inspired by visiting the Kinosaito Arts Center in Verplanck NY. The old building and the angles I saw were very inspiring!
I took a few phone pictures before a sketch session with my sketch group, dreading the flies who would soon feast on my blood as I would sit down to sketch. Before I started my fabric rendition I made a quick Acrylic study.
I incorporated some Japanese fabrics, my hand dyed fabrics , and of course fabrics with big fly images. Machine quilting, and hand embroidery.
