I fell in love with her immediately when I saw her

I fell in love with her immediately when I saw her at the animal shelter 11 years ago. Always the typical calico, she was loud, bossy, and curious about anything new. She loved hunting lizards, being petted, snuggling with me while I worked, and basking in sunshine. She died from kidney failure a week ago. Over my life, I have had many cats as pets, but none has been as particularly “mine” as her. I was definitely her human. She was my shadow, my studio cat, my loyal friend. I miss her, my pretty girl, Kisa.

Grau, our other cat, has been comforting me since her death. He’s a cuddle bug and very sweet. One of the things I love about cats is how distinctive their personalities are. Kisa was gregarious and demanding. Grau is shy and silly. Cats are a blessing and bring humor, comfort, and routine to my life. They make my home better. #studiocat #missyou

This is one of my personal favorites in my exhibition at Craighead Green. It was relatively easy to create; I “saw” it clearly in my head before even starting it. I hope you enjoy it! “View 2, Devil’s Hall Trail” on view through Nov 14. #fiberart #guadalupemountains #embroidery #threadpainting

Cleaning the guts of my sewing machine can be gross, especially when it’s been working hard creating the bentonite hills of the Painted Desert. #fiberart #babylocksewing #threadpainting #sewingmachine
