In the Fall of 2022, I collaborated with fiber artist Bobbi Baugh, of DeLand, Florida. We each chose to make work about current issues that concern us. We spent time in Bobbi's studio and at a retreat in New Smyrna Beach planning, critiquing, and making fabric that all of our work would share. My portraits below are about the victims of oppression in Ukraine. Our combined collection is entitled "Courage and Outrage".
