As many
of you may already know, Ann Fahl has a gorgeous new book
coming out this spring. And of course all of us ” Ann fans” are
curious and excited to get a peak at it. Well, Ann
contacted me today. I’m happy to say that she has agreed to
be featured again on an upcoming post and tell us all about it.
The title is “A Black and White Tail”. Here’s a
little from Ann about it, a teaser for us all to chew on. “Jacquie
Scuitto agreed to write some poetry to go along with all of my cat
quilts. Eventually, there were a total of 22 cat quilts and
Jacquie wrote additional verse for each new one that came along.
Now there are a total of 34 quilts included in the story line.
Quilt and cat lovers of all ages will enjoy it.”
I copied a few examples of her cat quilts , a peak
at the kind of beautiful quilts this book will contain. We’ll
all have to wait to see which quilts are in it. So look for that
upcoming conversation with Ann… coming soon and her new book this
spring. http://www.annfahl.com Ann’s

About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. by my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I decided I was going to become a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild at 15, the youngest member at that time. I was completely out of place, I tried to go unnoticed, a mute fly on the wall, with a big smile pasted on my face.
I've continued to paint most of my life.
After a move to Oregon years later, I was introduced to quilting and fell in love.
I was introduced to quilting & fell in love.
In time I missed the creative freedom painting made possible.
Then I discovered mixed media fiber art, I was home.
MY APPROACH TO ART
It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. Starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, I follow where that leads. There are often many changes and adjustments along the way. The result can often be surprizing.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions as they present themselves.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction.
I love that element of surprize!
Sometimes I have one that I especially like, I can't wait to show someone.
At that moment l feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
I’ve had some of my work published in several magazines. which is exciting. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.
