Windows On Woodstock

Windows On Woodstock is my textile art studio in Santa Ynez, CA. It is a converted barn which sits high on a hill overlooking Woodstock Road and the Santa Ynez Valley. Within the 1500+ square feet I create art pieces from my hand dyed fabrics which I screen print, paint, stencil, otherwise embellish and stitch. My work ranges from representational to conceptual to abstract. Several series are incorporated into my body of work.

 These two pieces are a subset of my "Vineyard Series" called Winter Vines.  The top is a new piece, and has not yet seen any exhibits.  The bottom was part of my solo exhibition at Caravintas Winery from July 3 until September 29 of this year.  It has found a new home at St.Marks-in-the-Valley Church in Los Olivos.  I am so thrilled to have it there.  A triptych, not shown here, now belongs to Bob and Vickie Baehner of Baehner Fournier Vineyards.  I'm planning to do more in this series.  I love the imagery in the vines and terrain.  

These are three pieces in a music series that I have been working on.  The piece above is entitled Bass Notes.                                             

This piece is Dream in E Minor, after my favorite violin concerto--Mendolsohn's Violin Concerto in E Minor.                                      


And this is Polonaises, named after the Chopin Polonaises, and the faint back print of the sheet music.  All are now framed, and they look great as a series.

I have been working on a number of smaller pieces, in particular 12" X 12" squares, to frame for the monthly Guild Room exhibits at Gallery Los Olivos.  This one, called "Trees Like Praying Hands", is one of the pieces I am showing for February.  It is front mounted on linen and framed with a distressed pine frame.  I like the way the small pieces show in a frame. While the large pieces hang like tapestries, the small pieces seem to benefit from framing.  I will be showing a large (3ft X 4ft) unframed piece for March, but am preparing smaller pieces again for April.
