"Through the Lens" is a quilt I did for the HERstory quilt exhibit. This is Dorothea Lange, she was a photographer for the federal government, she documented the dust bowl and the internment of the Japanese. If you ever have the honor to visit the Heart Mountain Japanese Internment camp Museum. ( Between Cody and Powell Wyoming) As you walk in the door you will see a black and white photo that is a shot of a building in California (I believe) There is a huge banner on that building that says, "We are Americans" I was thrilled that this art quilt was juried into the HERstory exibhit and has traveled many places over the last 4 years. All the quilts in this exhibit have been published in a book and is available from Amazon. Susanne Miller Jones is the curator and the book title is HERstory A Celebration of Strong Women. SHE IS ON HER WAY BACK HOME!!
I am a fiber artist living 20 miles from the Northeast gate to Yellowstone National Park. We live just off the Chief Joesph Highway. Walk, ski or snowshoe everyday. I am a founding member of the 1st Textile Art group in Wyoming, Textile Artists of the Greater Yellowstone. One last thing, I am terrible at updating my blog. I always promise to do better but so far I fail at that. Must be because I am busy creating art??

Mother Natures fence? or is it art?
Yep, always something interesting on our daily walks. This is a walk we found, for the most part is flat. We call this walk "Tetons walk" our dog Teton is 13 years old, her back legs are weak, but she does love our daily walks. She loves this walk. I thought the natural pile of branches and trees looks like a wall.
