Showcasing Cindy's Fabric Art

I am a self-taught artist.  I primarily use commercial and hand-dyed fabrics  and various sewing techniques to create.  Over time my work has become more abstract. I want the viewer to see my work and bring their own experience to complete the picture in their mind.  

 When I created this piece  I was thinking of a woman of a "certain age" reflecting on her past while planning her future. Where did THAT idea come from you ask.  I gave her green eye shadow and purple silk gloves.  I love her. 

 I am inspired by the patterns in the ordinary, like this photo I took of an alley in Stillwater, Oklahoma.  I see shapes  in the mundane that make me think "What if...?" I actually created a piece using this photo as an inspiration, but in my mind it needed a lot more color.
