I marched for life. I am pro-choice because I am pro-life. Yes, I am horrified by abortions. As Hillary Clinton once said, I believe they should be safe, legal, and rare. But the idea of criminalization of abortion terrifies me. I think about the proven record in America and around the world that support of legalized abortion always brings the number of abortions down. I want policies that are not just pro-birth but pro-life. I want policies that are life giving to the orphan, the single mother, and the immigrant. I was saddened when pro-life partners were uninvited from the Women’s March. As the pundits said, I think it was a missed opportunity. In an already divided America, there shouldn’t be obstacles to those who want to fight for human dignity and rights.
Pink White and Blue
I have been making work that relates to landscapes in print and fabric. I find it interesting how our perception of landscape changes as we move from the ground to the air. We are able to manipulate the earth in significant ways with technology, and also see those changes from new perspectives using technology. I like that I can use old techniques of printmaking and sewing to represent images that we can only see through our modern advancements. Seen from above, the different surfaces of the Earth often look just like a quilt - pieced together with different colors and textures.

Our Kitchen.
In July of 2016, we moved into our new home. We spent months painting all the rooms, renovated the kitchen and basement, and added a bathroom. Friends and family have asked to see pictures of our new home, and I will be sharing different parts of the house from time to time.
