This seatless rocking chair where I nursed my two sons represents the joys and sorrows of motherhood. I stitched the dates of the births and miscarriages of my children on the linen draped across the arms of the chair.

“Peggy’s Garden” is an ode to my recently deceased mother, an artist and farm girl who embraced, nature, color and life itself with passion and determination. Employing encaustics to create colors and shapes, I alternated surfaces of wood and fabric, painting and mono printing to contrast textures as I played with size, color and repetition. Images of Peggy, some half hidden, allow the seasons of her life to mimic the seasons of this garden.

(SOLD) A stained glass window collage incorporates the religious moments and images from my family's life, from altar boys and baptisms to weddings and the image of Notre Dame's Touchdown Jesus where my father attended college. My mother holding my baby brother, at the top, brings to mind the Madonna.
