Rage & Resolve - a quilt for our times
I haven’t sewn in a while. So excited to participate in Rage & Resolve quilt collaboration featuring work by women artists. Each artist contributes two squares to express how they are dealing with the current state of our country. Here are my two. #textileart #nokings #embroidery #womenartists

Rows and Columns at Clay on Main, Oley PA
Rows and Columns is a group show inspired by the Excel format. See what artists do when given a cigar box and an 18” column of wall on which they can install their interpretation. The variety and creativity in this show is excellent. Hope you can see it for yourself. #clayonmain #shadowboxart #assemblageart #installationart #sculpture #oley
