In response to the 911 attack on the World Trade Center, the Lions Club and Quilters of Arlington, Texas funded the Unity Flat. Each elementary school sixth grader that year had the opportunity to create a square in art class that was then quilted into a flag. This photo is from the ceremony and dedication of that flag. I am lucky to have been teaching art at AISD during the creation of this flag. It currently tours around the country as a symbol of what children believe our country is capable of if we stand together in unity.

Post Collage Austin Years
After graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Art, I floundered a bit working as a secretary, accounting clerk and office manager before returned to collage for another degree. During this time I went through some difficult experiences and as a result created a lot of very dark art that kind of reflected me trying to find myself. I also found out that Miles, one of my first loves, had died unexpectedly. Although we had been apart for quite a while, it effected me in a dark way. This, on top of my black mood, made for some great conceptual artwork. The following posts include some of my favorites from that time.
Intimate Strangers
Unfinished Jack
Remembering Miles
