Thank you for the kind comments, everyone!

It is hard to know where to start -- pretty much like starting to write an essay and staring at a blank page. I look at a lot of photographs in magazines and brochures and save the ones I love. Then I study them over and over again for inspiration. I am not a natural born artist and have no formal art training. Most of my art quilts are a composite of many photos.
