Fiber art postcards are celebrated at Tohono Chul Park, Tucson, Arizona. The first “Wish You Were Here” exhibition in 2006 displayed 215 artists from the United States, Canada, Australia and Belgium. Still keeping good company, my “Saguaro National Park” entry was one of the cards on exhibit.

I was one of four fashion designers invited to participate in the University of Arizona’s Bouquets to Art third biennial. Upcycled sweaters and a thrift store skirt were refashioned into a two piece suit. Live flowers embellished the collar and cuffs.
