This first piece is about creativity” The quote on the top says “Hold on to child like wonder”, something I try to do while creating my own work.

The quote on the waist and bottom of the skirt says “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up” a quote by Pablo Picasso

"Young at Heart" -Dimensions: 21”x14”x9”,Date: 2009, Materials: silver dollar pods, skeleton leaves, yellow cedar bark, waxed linen and paper. photo credit: Ken Rowe

This piece is about aging and time. I used silver dollar pods (lunaria) and skeleton leaves and the time consuming quilting technique all relating it to life, time and aging. The quote inside this piece is by William Butler Yeats "The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time."
