As someone with my own obstacles, most of which are simply from age, but also balance and vision problems from a fall & head/brain injury– this article reminded me that our desire to create drives us to devise systems to assist us in that goal. (Which, in and of itself, can also be very creative.) That can include enhanced magnification and lighting methods as well as cobbled-together, make-do-with-what’s-on-hand innovations to get us to where want to go with our craft because it brings us so much joy. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work and candid, down-to-earth insights.

Thanks!

This is very, very scary, especially for a visual person who has always made things and took the big step to go to art school in her forties. I am much more optimistic after reading Robin’s comments. I wonder too if we are long lost relatives as my maiden name was Cowley!

I was just about to say how much I loved your Mars piece, and the…page down…unnamed 60 x 30…it’s amazing, I love it!!!
By the way I was behind you up until you turned of to go home…I was on the way to my other cousin’s house! Love to Paul & your Iris & Poppy!

I’ve loved your work from afar for a long time. So happy to know you are able to keep creating beautiful and thought-provoking textile art. I appreciate your candor in the interview.

It’s good to know a little bit more about her. Macular degeneration runs in my family, so I’m glad to see that even with vision problems, one can continue to make great art. Thank you for another interesting interview!
