WELCOME TO KC COLLAGE features all kc landmarks

I visited China in 2008 on a tea expedition. The Wuyi Mountains are in a sacred natural environment for tea production. The teas here known as the teas of the Noon Day Sun for all the sharp little mountains around the tea fields. I visited in early spring while some wild trees and vines were beginning to bloom against the dead dry grasses growing on the little mountains. The teas are spectacular.

This piece is a landscape of the KU Campus, which includes The Campanile and Fraser Hall. Fabric and free-motion quilting.

This particular collection of wall sculptures is crafted from natural elements that I have gathered from the Overland park arboretum and my surroundings for eg; tree barks ,pine cones and acorns. I find inspiration in the patterns and beauty of simple elements—those that often go unnoticed or overlooked by the human eye. For eg:the burst of color patterns I see during Kansas City’s sunflower season or the vibrant colors on a maple leave that we experience during fall. These patterns fuel my creativity, transforming them into art that encourages viewers to reconnect with the natural world and encourage them to think why balanced bio diversity is critical not only for us but the generations to come.

Bold Bright Impressionistic...I hope! LOL

I used to thrive in loud, busy environments. I loved being in a crowd, surrounded by friends and listening to music. The more stimulus, the more I felt alive. Since my brain injury caused by COVID-19, any mild stimulus- noise, light, touch, can cause immense pain and profound cognitive impairment. Though I’ve improved over the past 2.5 years, still the sound of a bird singing, or a background song from a tv commercial can be quite unsettling. Worst yet are multiple competing stimuli. Trying to hold a conversation with someone with other visual or auditory distractions is almost impossible. Minor things such as other conversations, background music, or the sound of wind in the trees suddenly all overwhelm my brain and I become severely confused, unable to understand what someone is trying to say to me. I often forget who I am speaking to even though they may be a close friend. I am hopeful for a day when my brain is healed and I can again enjoy a busy life, filled with people and all the world has to offer.

Ceramic bowl with crocheted doily imprint. This bowl was made using white stoneware clay and was finished with a vibrant cobalt glaze. Cobalt blue symbolizes ingenuity, enlightenment and productivity. It is often associated with calmness and serenity. I pressed my great-grandmother’s crocheted doily into a slab of clay and carefully cut around the shape before forming it. The doily was removed and could be washed and reused without harm. I really enjoy creating pottery using my great-grandmother’s crocheted doilies. I consider her handiwork a gift I can use and share with others. The bowl was glazed with a cobalt blue glaze that accentuates the texture and details of the doily. The back of the bowl is glossy black. The bowl is food, microwave and dishwasher safe. The size is 12x12x3 inches. KM3412. IMG_5057.
