Lauren and Terry


This is one of my favorite photos of me and my husband, Terry. This was taken the summer of 2002 when we were on a weekend away. I think the style of the photo is very Klimt-like. I've decided that I'm going to work on an art quilt of the photo in that style. I love Klimt and think it will be a fun piece to have. It will be odd to work on something that I won't ever sell.

Terry and I will be celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary on the 28th of December of this year. He was a mere 29 in this picture, I was 39. That is a flying ladybug on my shoulder (which I got after I left my first husband, because I wanted something on my body that he had never seen before!).

My Journal Quilt


This is my Journal Quilt which was recently exhibited in Houston, Texas. I've always wanted a poppy to use for my business cards since my studio name is Painted Poppy Studio. This was the perfect excuse to make it. I'm still trying to locate my artist's statement to add here.
