I'm so excited! Two of my artquilts have just been picked up and are on their way to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, as part of the Art in Embassies Program. They were chosen, with the assistance of a curator, by incoming Ambassador Ann Marie Yastishock. I am grateful to the Ambassador for her selection of my work. I hope they bring her and her guests much pleasure as they hang on the walls of the Embassy.
Selected were On the Verge:
 |

| The Organic Landscape |

Thanks to the SAQA Global Exhibit Seasonal Palette, The Organic Landscape has already toured many venues in the US, as well as in Taiwan and Brazil. I am thrilled to add another county to its exhibit history.
I was part of the Art in Embassies program once before, with the Organic Garden in Vientiane, Laos. It gives me a particular kind of patriotic pride to be able to make a contribution by loaning my artwork to this excellent program with a great history.
As always, thanks for reading and for your support. Pick your platform to find and follow my content:
