In many communities, summer brings an exciting event, “Art In The Park”. You’ll notice it in a variety of cities, some small, others large.
In Las Vegas, my hometown, Art in the Park occupies several blocks. Art lovers pour in from everywhere.
They arrive by the bus load. It’s a “big event”.
Recently my husband, myself
and a friend attended Art In The Park in a city considerably smaller than Las Vegas. We strolled around under the shade of large old trees admiring the artwork.
I prefer a smaller venue, there’s time to leisurely explore. You can linger over any work that catches your attention. There’s time to meet some of the artists, who if asked, are often happy to discuss their work.
There was food, drinks and snacks available, but who could tear themselves away from the art?

About Myself & My Approach
I come from a family filled with many artists.s 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 totally out of my league, a kid among so many serious adult artists. But to be there, exposed to art in that way was quite an experience. I was enraptured, soaking up. I tried to go unnoticed, just a fly on the wall, mute, a big ole smile plastered on my face. soaking it all up. I tryed to go unnoticed; a mute teenager, eyes wide opened and a huge smile plastered across my face. I’m pretty I was noticed, a mute kid with an enraptured look on my face.
I've continued to paint throughout my life. On occasion I've sold my work, but I had more important priorities, one being raising my wonderful children.
My circumstances have changed, the kids grown, I had more time and Art was like theorpy for me.
I was introduced to the world of quilting & fell in love.
I did miss the creative freedom painting afforded.
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.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning.
themselves, my appproacj response js an instinctual one.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction the quilt takes. The outcome can come as a surprise. I love that element of surprise!
Sometimes everything just comes together & I think 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, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
I’ve had work published in several magazines., which is gratifingvl. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased quilt.

One thought on “Summer Brings Many Art Events To Enjoy”
I’d love to know more about that beautiful piece. It’s stunning.
Smaller is always better; having the opportunity to take time to talk to the makers, admire the creations, and chat with other visitors is part of the experience.
