Two SunflowersSOLD Published in a quilting art magazine
Description
An abstract art quilt for sale. This wallhanging has bright color on a black background. As I was creating it, my working title was color explosion. but as it progressed it reminded me of Dr Seuss, so It’s title changed to “Seuss Over Youse”. It’s an original art quilt with a touch of whimsy but it wasn’t intended for a child’s room. It is an abstract that would provide a punch of color, a great focal point. The wonky shapes and free motion quilting is unique, it’s free form and used as an element of the design. It has bold color, blue, red and yellow. It measures 21″ by 30″.
Original Framed Silk Painted Art Quilt, Mixed Media. “Fog”- The Approach of Darkness Dark or Light- we choose our direction. Barbara Harms $!55.00
About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. My family is filled with many artist's, so my love of art came naturally.
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've continued to paint throughout my life. On occasion I've sold my work, but I had more important priorities, I was raising my children, part of that time as a single parent.
My circumstances have changed, the kids are grown and I have more time for Art. Art is a form of therapy for me.
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.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions to take as they present themselves.
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 to myself, "this is one of my better ones". when that happens, 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.
