I’m pleased to announce that the Mariposa Museum & World Culture Center in Peterborough, NH is hosting my exhibition, Bedtime Stitches & Other Works, through January 4, 2026. Rob and I visited the museum for the first time last week and were delighted by what we saw. The museum staff did a remarkable job hanging my work, which is spread throughout the building’s 3 levels.

The exhibition includes a wide selection of framed tableaux and sculptures that span the past 30 years of my career, including the Wall of Women (printed enlargements of portraits from “Cover Up”) and the complete set of original art for my most recent picture book, MY BED.

While we were there, Rob took a photo for a family that posed in front of the display of wee folk. Many of the dolls are sample projects from my how-to book, Felt Wee Folk.

I enjoyed meeting some wonderful folks who told me about what they like to make.

I’m looking forward to returning to the museum to give an Artist Talk on Sat., Sept. 27 at 4:00 PM ~ Seating is limited, so if you plan on coming, please register here soon.

On display is my Self Portrait: A Personal History of Fashion, surrounded by a group of nursery rhyme ornaments. The exhibit also includes Displaced, Cover Up, Facetime, Whiskers, and over a dozen other pieces.

Another highlight of our trip was connecting with my artist friend, Beth Krommes, who lives in Peterborough. Beth and I first met 50 years ago, in a printmaking class at Syracuse University. She then took a junior year abroad in London and I transferred to the Rhode Island School of Design. We’ve kept in touch all these years, periodically talking about our current projects and commiserating about the challenges of working in the children’s book industry. It’s interesting that both of us have delved into a variety of mediums, including picture book illustration and textiles. Another aspect we have in common is our primary interest in design and visual communication, and our impulse to explore different ways of achieving that.

Beth Krommes will be participating in the Monadnock Art Open Studio Tour, which is being held Oct. 11, 12, 13, 2025. If you go to her studio, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
