A sleek and graceful cougar known for his strength and awesome ability to jump makes his decision to attack as he leaps towards the deer.  Once airborne, he has little control over where he will land, knowing it will be a hit or miss.   The alert deer having heard the cat’s take-off wastes no time in swiftly leaping to safety. There will be another time for the cougar as he successfully closes 80% of all stalks with a kill.  The deer has made this his great escape in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Quilting, embroidery on fabric, mounted on painted wood board. This work just received First Place (Professional) at our local NAP exhibit.

Sculpture

This sculpture is part of a series I've created called "CDecoupage. I recycle old discs (CDs, DVDs, PC programs, and games) into mosaic sculpture and collage. The discs are cut up into individual puzzle like pieces. Then, they are arranged in accordance to their original colors, texts, and images which brings my aesthetic vision into fruition. I utilized 450 jewel cases for the inner frame. The dimensions are 50cm x 180cm x 60cm.

Originally titled "Summer Landscape," this 10" x 8" painting uses washable poster paints.  On 7/25/2015, my family decided to have an "art day" with a summer theme.  My painting was inspired by O'Keefe's Evening Star, No. III, and by illustrations from Sheila White Samton's The World From My Window.  I hope it inspires you!

May we raise children
who love the unloved things – the dandelion, the
worms & spiderlings.
Children who sense
the rose needs the thorn
& run into rainswept days
the same way they turn towards sun…

And when they’re grown &
someone has to speak for those
who have no voice
may they draw upon that
wilder bond, those days of
tending tender things
and be the ones.
by Nicolette Sowder
