I Love You

Hard-edge painting of geometric quilt-designs on birch panel has been my signature for a decade. At this juncture I was thrilled with the opportunity to try something unfamiliar: painting on a three-dimensional form. 

From the start, I visualized Tian in a Tumbling-Block patterned shirt and jeans with a Grandmother’s-Flower motif. Initially I struggled with the process until I learned how to work with acrylics on plastic. Six weeks of artistic growth replaced the uncertainty.

My parting present—the friendship bracelet—reveals my affection for Tian. Its message is a fundamental affirmation that all children should hear every day. www.curiousandcreative.com
