Barbara Harms-Up Close and Personal I'm a fiber quilt artist, working in mixed media . Art runs in my family. I must have inherited the art gene. By my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild, their youngest member at the time. I was totally out of my league, a teen, in a room of adults. Mute, taking it all in. I hoped I went unnoticed, a fly on the wall, unlikely. A silent teenager in their midst, I’m pretty sure they noticed. But being emerged in art, exposed to serious artists, was a great experience. I’ve painted for most of my life. So, there you have it, the "glorious" beginnings of my artistic "career"! I've continued to paint for most of my life. I was introduced to quilting after moving to Oregon and instantly fell in love it. It was new and exciting, I jumped in with both feet. As enjoyable as I found quilting, I began to miss painting. Then, I discovered fiber art quilting, I was finally home. My Process & Approach For me, it's the process of creating that holds the strongest attraction. I love starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, then I follow where it leads. My style is fairly loose and instinctual. The choices and decisions that come up as I work on a piece, are made based on my gut feelings. This can result in quite a few changes in direction. This approach can lead to many changes in the direction. it takes The outcome can come as a surprise. I love that element of surprise. Sometimes everything just comes together & I think that this is one of my better ones. I can’t wait to show someone. I feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand. He can't wait to show Mom. At those times I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.

Brigid,
I had forgotten about this old post. The date of this event was 2010, you can barely see it on the flyer. That would explain the non functioning links. I’ll see about pulling this old news. BTW they may still be holding this event, I was given the impression it was an annual event. If you Google it, there must be a more current link.
I appreciate you’re bringing this to my attention. I tend to post it & forget it, not a good idea I suppose. I’m concerned in particular about the slow loading time on my site, that you mentioned. I do have a lot of large photos, which could be effecting my loading time.
It’s a hard balance to maintain, I’m a visual person and large photos are appealing to me, yet I don’t want that to the effect the loading time. Can you have your cake & eat it too? I guess that old adage would apply here. The answer to that question is still, “no”..
Thanks again.
Barb
I just tryed their link http://newhopeart.org/ and it still worked. In fact they had some pictures of the fashion show associated with the event from that 2010 show.
