Grapevine |
After a full (and lengthy!) career in health insurance underwriting, I have set myself a goal to live the second half of my life using my right-brain. Living life with creativity is wonderful! I don’t know where the designs come from; an idea appears and then just morphs into a design as I look at fabric and thread colors. As I’m making the artwork, I find myself excited to watch the evolution of the design! I have no formal training and hold no degrees. In my childhood, I picked up needle and thread and started embroidering on jeans. My artwork usually brought compliments, but it didn’t feel like “real” art. At various stages in my life, I tried to find the “real” realm for my creativity; I tried painting, pottery, drawing, music, refinishing furniture and many others. None appeared to be my forte. I needed a piece of artwork for my home, with certain colors and in a certain size; I decided to make it myself and fell back to my embroidery skills. My Grapevine was born. That was the beginning; designs have been bubbling up and I can’t wait to get them all created. I live happily in Avon with my dog and 3 cats. Contact Linda Coleman: Website - Linda Coleman |
