Musings
Some ideas and resulting batiks don’t fit into a single category. Risk taking and experimentation is part of my artistic development. This is a collection of those artworks.
Musings
Embers
Three batik panels hang from a rod with sleeves at the top and bottom, so you can rearrange them for a different look. Any way they are arranged reminds me of embers and sparks flowing around a campfire.
32 × 36” $400
Pollinators in Formationdon
A batik based on the theme “pollinators” and done in the style of a quilt block. A mash-up of art forms!
16 × 16” $300 Framed
This collage is an explosion of color! Started with no definite plan, just a basic image and sets of colors. Can you guess from the title where the image started?
18 x 24” $300
Corning Blossom
This batik is made with linen, rather than my customary Kona cotton. I like the crackle here, an effect that is more difficult to control and happens more often on linen than cotton.
12” x 12”
Victorian Lace
Three of Hearts
An early batik, created at the same time as Hearts in a Box. I wanted to make something that looks like stained glass. I like the effect of creating curved shapes with stripes. The colors blend like water colors.
9” x 25” $320
The remaining pieces in this collection are either sold or held within my private archives. If you find a style or subject you particularly admire, please feel free to reach out—I would be happy to discuss a custom commission inspired by these works.
Here’s another batik on linen. This one makes me think of a ceiling design, like looking up at a rotunda.
12” x 12”

Rotunda View
Sunflower Quilt Square
A barn quilt square inspired by the shapes and colors of a sunflower.
12 x 12”
Sold
An early work, this batik is an effort to create the illusion of a three-dimensional surface with color and light.
18” x 18”
Rag Rug
Mosaic Skull
This early piece was inspired by a mosaic 3D skull I saw at an art show at a biker bar.
12” x 15” framed.
Abstracted
Intertwining shapes create unexpected patterns.
18 x 24”
