Gillian Cooper's Blog Creating new artwork and installatons, writing for Popular Patchwork whilst trying to look after three lovely little monsters, means there is always something going on
A blog exploring lessons from quilting, painting, living.
If you love color and brights, my site is for you. My work is often described as 'very colorful' to 'really loud.' And I like it that way.
I enjoy dyeing, discharging, printing, stamping, drawing & painting of fabric. I also like to embellish, often with unusual items like metal washers or tea bag labels. What ever seems appropriate to the piece. And I am never quite sure when to say when.
Although I started college as an Art Major, I got married and started a family and never finished my degree. I ended up with a career as a bookkeeper before ending up working in a Library. Along the way I never gave up my love of art, and even taught and coordinated a parent run art program at my sons school.
Now as a single mom with a full-time job, I have to make sure that I carve out time for me to make art, which can be very difficult. Fortunately I am blessed with having very understanding children, and they allow me time and space to work. The animals are not always as understand, but usually if I play with them for five or ten minutes they let me work.
Hope you enjoy the art and musings...
