2025

I think one of the reasons I picked a retirement date is that I realized every year, I felt like I wasn’t getting enough art done due to the day job. Yeah. Nothing’s changed. I spent four months from 2024 to 2025 working on one big complicated piece…this is Portrait of One Self, finished in February (started in October).

56” w x 67” h, $7510.

Then I completed AI Is Not My Friend in April…

Which apparently I posted nowhere final. Welcome to the last two months of school. 57” w x 42” h, $3490.

I had started a book for a local show and did all the embroidery while on Spring Break traveling, but did the quilty part of it in late April and early May. This is Pretending You Don’t Exist, which still needs official photos. Here is the front…

And the back…

It’s about 19” w x 12” h x 1 ¾” d (4 panels with plexi stands), $2535 (small does not mean less time y’all…there’s about 12 hours just in the hand embroidery.).

And then I needed something light, which in retrospect, was prescient and not light at all. This is Boom, finished in June, which also needs official photography.

I’ll wait until I have a couple for the photographer. Although. I think I need a photo of this one for an entry. Dammit. Sigh. OK. 22” w x 28.5” h, $825.

I’m currently a week out of school for Summer Break, and have been drawing most of that week, just a little at a time, for a bigger piece. I suspect it will take me all summer to finish it.
