Had to add an item that I consider to be an award “of sorts”. I was selected by jurors Linda Colsh, Nancy Bavor and Alice Beasley to exhibit in the published international SAQA Journal 2024. I was one of 40 chosen art quilters out of over 500 submissions! Feels like such an honor to be included.
My statement: “Once I’d received a diagnosis of osteoporosis, I couldn’t get the idea of brittle bones out of my head. I felt fragile inside. This quilt gave me solace in creating something beautiful and delicate. When I see lunaria seed pods, I enjoy the translucence of the pod and seeing the protected seed inside as something enduring. Creating artwork is a healing process for me, allowing the expression of my feelings in a tangible way.”
