Another #thankfulthursday post for my art teachers and inspirations
My “work” life has involved maps and geography for years and the Map Haiku workshop with @valeriegoodwinart gave me a way to cross it over into my art life.
Don’t judge her work by photos of mine – she is masterful, I’m still experimenting. Looking forward to learning with her again at @craftalifenapa for Monoprint Map Collage
March, 2022
The picture I chose of March is a sampler piece I completed during an on-line workshop with Valerie Goodwin, a quilt artist. The workshop is called Map Haiku, and the pieces are abstract representations of places, real or imagined, rendered in transparent inked layers of silk organza and hand stitching.
Mapping seemed particularly apt this month what with all of the internal excavations I’ve been doing during my Artist Way program, my morning pages, and my Arthur Brooks reading. Turns out there are a lot of nooks and crannies in my mind and soul, and even some newly discovered territory.
