Getting ready for this exhibit at the History Center was a walk down memory lane….remembering the late nights I would create, when my children were little…how the world was a frightening place then. And now? If you can imagine, even scarier.

So many ideas still swimming through my head. These times make for very bizarre dreams and ideas that are not always beautiful. Trying to keep my creative images full of beauty but sometimes I need to just be authentic….

Third in the series - ‘Billet-doux #3 - Ladies in the field.’

Created using love letters (billet-doux) sent to me as a young woman; the letters needed to be preserved in some way and thus became the background/sky in each piece. Using a photo transfer process, each piece tells a story….

Billet- doux #1 - Love letters
My intent is always to reuse papers I come across: papers from our lives that we save for various reasons.
These love letters, written to me as a very young woman
were too precious to throw away - I've begun a series = 'Billet - doux' (love letters) and this is the first piece.
