I have been drawing and designing since I was a little girl. As a child I drew constantly and made my own paper dolls, not knowing that I would grow up to establish my own clothing pattern company. I have also continued the the quilting heritage passed down to me by my grandmother, Hulda Baker, my mom Dolores Baker, and my aunts Donna Easterday and Ramona Schofield, and I am now designing quilt patterns commercially as well. In 2008 I returned to my artistic roots and began spending a lot more time drawing and painting. Now we have retired to the Asheville area and I am able to pursue my art even more wholeheartedly. So much has transpired in the last two years, I can hardly wait to see what exciting things God has planned for the coming years. He is swinging open doors of opportunity that I never knew existed.
This is the pen and ink that I started on the last day of the Pen & Ink Workshop that I took last weekend. I used a sharpie marker to fill in the large areas of solid black. Needless to say, the result was not what I wanted. I plan to go over those areas with a brush and india ink.
It looks amazing, mom! I agree, it looks like some areas do need to be touched up, but wow. You are AMAZING!!!
