Artist's Statement:

Geisha Dancer in the Evening Garden with Sacred Datura is a marriage of my interest in gardening, Asian Arts, poetry, and storytelling. Quilt like people have two sides. There's the public side that everyone is invited to know and enjoy. Then there is the private side which is shared more selectively and only when the time is right. The writer/storyteller side of me leaks onto and into my quilts with the backsides often doubling as journals.
