I M Perfect lady


Work of Art

How fun it is to see someone see My Lady for the first time.  I get to see her again, through their eyes. And, I get to share her/our story.  

My art goes beyond what you first see; the deeper connection is to feel the power of humankind…resilience – hope- freedom- empowerment – courage and boldness to name a few.

Oh and the energy of the My Lady, is expressed in so many ways.  I love the changing emotions.  I love that my feelings are often displayed in the fabric.

I also love, that often I don't even grasp what I am creating until it is done or until months/years later.

When they go and hang out at a new venue, I get to see them once again with fresh eyes.

I love My Lady.

I am proud of her.

I love her adventurous nature and how willing she is to be seen.

Yet each time I unroll my fabric bundle of quilts…it is to unfurl my soul.

I am sure there are still remnants and visages of my me that fear to be seen in my entirety.  Where my art, my wound and my recovery are all embraced.

As a fiber artist; I am sewn into each piece.

Just as quilts are cut up and rearranged; so am I.

Rearranged into a work of Art.

    Beautiful commentary, Beth. Your quilts (and the Lady) are ever-evolving. That is what keeps them fresh. As each person looks at them, they are bound to mean something different to each person. They are pretty and colorful and emotional—deeply emotional. Your Lady Quilts carry emotions with them and that is what people connect with.
