Sometimes the details of just living a life get a bit confused both intellectually and emotionally.

Marital Bliss-37 years and counting
Every single day with Mark Hahn is a blessing- full of laughter, fascinating conversations, kindness and so much LOVE. This is my largest sewn piece to date in my effort to suggest how happy I am with my beloved.
Flying at Midnight
The overwhelming sounds of the commercial jet engines frame the surrealistic experience and view I have through a plane window so late at night, providing impetus for this drawing as we left the Chicago area.
Riding the Bullet Train of Time
At my age the hours and days roar past.
It is always trash night, it is always time to buy coffee, it is time again to rake the autumn leaves, my children are babies, no wait, they are getting married…………………………….
I AM riding the Bullet Train of Time. Why does it have to go so fast?
My Muslim Sisters are Birds In a Box
Summer Heat
Because I “see” temperature and I don’t like the oppressive layers of moist summer heat, I feel squashed.
Keeping My Balance on One Leg
“How Long Can I Keep My Balance Before I Fall Into Infirmity?” Silk on linen, with linen cord, metallic and cotton floss and thread 24″x36″
For all of us Baby Boomers, Infirmity is real!
I was talking with a 60-something friend about his health issues this morning, and this fell out of my pens.
So far I am the pink dancer, but watching friends and family age, I can anticipate a probable future. And I always experience pain as very sharp. I can only balance on one leg for so long, no matter how much I exercise, how strong my core is, or how much healthy food I eat.
Curing Cancer: On the Road – Inspired by Max Maffia (2013)
Inspiration: Max Maffia “On the Road.” 2005. Anywhere in the World! Daybox Records. | Length: 3:12; Musical Genre: Ambient Guitar
A few years ago when I underwent radiation treatments as part of my journey with cancer, I created a sound track on my iPod to support my healing. This image is the sound of a single harmonic guitar chord that I visualized as cutting a slice off my tumor and making that slice explode and disappear with the radiation treatments. In October 2013, I had the greatest pleasure to finally meet the composer/guitarist, Max Maffia in his beautiful home city of Salerno, Italy. I cherish the memory of the concert Max organized in my honor, in a Salerno art gallery with his entire band, and 50 of his dearest family and friends. I finally got to hear a live version of the song that supported my healing.
