In rural Kentucky, I love to see the few remaining clotheslines with the clothes waving in the breeze --- a self-portrait of a family. Life Line is my self-portrait on a clothesline. On a good day, I like to think of myself as part gypsy butterfly, part pearly queen (a group of Cockney English who cover their clothes with buttons), and part moon chaser.

“Art is something that one experiences alone
and for the purpose of realizing in a fresh way,
through the senses, the mystery of existence.”

Flannery O'Conner
