This piece, Breaking Barriers, and several others were featured on The Textile Blog today. I am over the moon about the lovely post that the author, John Hopper, has written about my work.
I don’t know how he found me, but several months ago, he e-mailed and asked permission to use some of my work on his blog. I said, sure!! I started reading his blog every day, and I have seen some wonderful work and decided that he would surely forget about me. Then, today, he e-mailed to say that I was the subject of the day.
I think it is just the boost that I needed. I see now where my work is strongest and I will continue to pursue my “quiet landscapes.”
I am working like crazy to get my Christmas cards done and in the mail. I need to get moving and stop reveling in my excitement for awhile.
Gerrie – an excellent review and so eloquently stated. I think we need to hire John as our writer for all those artist statements that shows want.
Gerrie, you should be so proud of yourself. Good job. Well deserved. Helen
Congrats Gerrie! That’s fantastic!
Congratulations! This is an honor well deserved.
I really enjoy this thoughtful blog; what a pleasure to see your work featured there. Congratulations!
Congratulations – although, I don’t think you need any validation!
Way to go Gerrie! Nice write up. I especially like “Sea of Salt.” FAntastic!

Validation indeed; no question mark!
Sometimes it seems like we are too engrossed and invested in our work to step back and see the big picture, even if we try. John’s thoughtful review does just that. Congratulations! and thank you for introducing me to an interesting new blog.
It was a wonderful review of your work! Very thoughtful and full of insights. Congratulations.
It’s a wonderful review! And, I think Laura Cater-Woods is right on…that gem needs to be quoted in your bio material. Congratulations….very well deserved recognition.
Gerrie, I have always loved your work for its eloquent design, but it is nice to read such an articulate response to your art. Way to go! Jen
P.S. Post that link on your website!
Yes! Most excellent validation. I did not realize how much the subconscious or hinted-at landscape played in your work, but seeing all my favorite pieces tied together like that does show your strength in that direction.
Congratulations! What better way to start your day than with a glowing review of your work. Cheers.
