Dahlia Daydream is a hand-cut collage designed using the pattern for a traditional Dahlia quilt. The ceramic 13-point lightning bolt in the center was handmade by the artist's mother-in-law.
"Dahlia Daydream" was put together by layering circles of paper diamonds that fit together, each handcut from a pattern. The original artwork is on a big sheet of plywood, measuring 38" x 38", and is part of the artist's private collection.

Bear, A Tribute to Owsley is a handcut paper collage designed using the traditional pattern for a Square in a Square quilt. It's a tribute piece deadicated to Owsley "Bear" Stanley, the innovator.
