2026

Y’all, I finally revised this page for 2026 in June. In case you were wondering how the last school year went. Here’s the first piece I finished this year, Unsustainable, finished in February. It’s currently part of the Soul Stories Threads of Existence exhibit.

$4710, 50” w x 60” h

Then I finished a few of my dye paintings from last summer; this is a departure from my regular work, and I’m not sure whether it will stick? Will it get into shows? Will I get irritated with how long it takes to hand embroider things? All possibilities.

The first that was finished is Immediate Action Required, finished in March.

It’s the smallest, at 20” w x 20 ½” h ($810). Dye-painted, hand-applique, hand-embroidered, machine quilted.

Then I finished A Mouthful in April. This one is my favorite so far.

This is an entirely different way of thinking for me. Trying to avoid dementia, y’all. 33 ½” w x 27 ¾” h ($1465). Are these a lot less time consuming than my regular method? Um. Not really. Maybe a little.

I then finished Thought Bomb in May.

Working with some other media on these. 29” w x 27” h ($915). I just put borders on three more, so this isn’t going away for a while…although I’m also working on one that is more my ‘normal’ style, whatever that means. They’ll all show up here eventually, although not any time soon.

I started In the Wrong Hands in June, got it all put together and almost quilted, and then left on a residency/travel for 26 days. I finished it in August.

38” w x 75” h, $6525.

I worked on the hand embroidery on this piece at the residency and then came back and quilted the background. This is Interminable Wait, also finished in August.

27” w x 26 ¾” h, $1745

I have a bunch of dye paintings waiting for their next stages; two are slated to be finished for a show I’m entering in January. I’m also working on a regular quilt that I drew most of (half of?) at the residency…I’m currently about halfway through? (a third?). And I need a new one for Soul Stories 2027, so my work list is full at the moment…not a bad thing.
