Bat Sh*t Crazy
September 2022
35 1/2" H x 46" W
$3,500
The horror of learning Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine had me visualizing Putin as a vampire. Several days into designing a traditional portrait of Putin sporting a black satin cape, smirking an evil grin with his eye teeth protruding, I heard the phrase “Bat Shit Crazy”. I had a eureka moment and the quilt seemed to design itself.
Bee Alert
April 2017
50" H x 30" W
$3,000
The horror of waking up on November 9, 2016 to learn Donald Trump was elected our 45th President has only been compounded with each Cabinet appointee. Every time another appointee’s name was made public and his/her inappropriateness for the job was brought to light, I cringed. It felt as though Trump was gleefully poking a Satan’s pitchfork at a hive of evil bees. What happened to Obama’s message of hope? Then it struck me, aren’t we experiencing the lesson from Pandora’s box? I choose to depict the nightmarish world with stinging bees against the flames of Hell, with a lone bee in gay banner stripes still standing proud in the hive.
Night Vision
January 2015
50" H x 40" W
$4,000
Poison dart frogs sport vibrant colors in order to alert their predators to their danger. They are tiny, no bigger than a pinky fingernail. None are neon hot pink, except in my imaginings.
Nestling Oysters
September 2013
37" H x 39" W
$3,000
Nestling Oysters is the fourth artwork comprising the Beach Series. The series depicts different imagined scenes of walking along a beach and spying shells. With Nestling Oysters two overlapping shells are zeroed in on.
Oyster Bay
July 2013
24" H x 36" W
$1,750
Oyster Bay is the third artwork comprising the Beach Series. Instead of thread painting the shells as in the prior work, the oyster shells were created off quilt and then stitched in place. The shells were given depth and staining through hand painting.
Reflection
April 2013
22" H x 33" W
Private Collection
A picture taken of geese standing on a frozen lake inspired Reflection. It is not meant to be an accurate representation although it is a representational piece. In the photograph there were more than twice the number of geese depicted in the artwork and the ice was a slate gray.
Shore's Edge
March 2013
30" H x 47" W
$2,500
Shore’s Edge is the second in a series of work exploring ways to depict shells on a beach. In Shore’s Edge the ocean is added, including the leading edge of a wave complete with foam and spray.
Beach Stroll
December 2012
33" H x 45" W
$2,600
The idea for Beach Stroll evolved over decades of pondering the works of Piet Mondrian, Andrew Wyeth and an embossed nautilus shell created by Gwyned Trefethen’s sister-in-law, Cheryl Eisner. It took a year of focusing on practicing free motion quilting and another year of doing a weekly drawing assignment to be able to execute Beach Stroll with confidence.
Poseidon's Lair
May 2011
49" H x 32" W
$2,750
An invitational to create a piece for Fiber Revolution's touring exhibition Fragmentations was the impetus for Poseidon's Lair. It is an amalgam of childhood fascinations with the passions of today's artist. Poseidon's Lair is an exploration of the Fibonacci Sequence through a nautilus shell, thread painting, free form curved piecing and the layering of textures and shapes.
Persona
Contemplation
July 2024
24" H x 19" W
$1,000
Contemplation endeavors to capture the essence of this woman's reflective state. Her posture, slightly hunched yet relaxed, speaks of a mind engaged in introspective dialogue. It invites viewers to pause, to immerse themselves in the quietude of the moment, and perhaps reflect on their own journeys of self-discovery.
Adoration
June 2013
35" H x 35" W
$2,450
The idea for Adoration comes from a love of Madonna and Child paintings made during the Renaissance. The image is an artistic interpretation of a photograph taken by the artist’s husband, Dana B. Eagles, of the artist holding their first grandchild.
