i recently did the contemporary craft market in santa monica. i meet  a lot of interesting people at shows-  art, mediums, materials are usual topics of conversation. the vintage textile collage market is extremely small- so when i meet someone who not only appreciates but is knowledgeable about the fabrics, materials & history used in my pieces- it is wonderful!

i had the privilege to meet hal cunningham, a 96 yr old artist who is still creating fabulous art with his treasure trove of vintage textiles,  miniatures, and collections of great stuff.  i’m awed by his enthusiasm, humor, and generosity- hal you’re my hero!
