I love the birches. I really do love them. I moved upstate NY to the Adirondacks to be closer to them:) I used to make rustik furniture and rustik birch bark baskets. It was really intense and I loved it so much. But peeling birch was a very intensely difficult job, with bloody knuckles, bugs flying around your head and under the bark...and then the sheer weight of carrying it out of the woods. Sigh. Somehow I miss it! ha! Seems too easy to " just do art " !!!

I look forward to your paper quilt! sounds like fun...
You are an inspiring person. It's great to have made friends!

I love trees, but birches are some of the best looking trees. The trunks are ghostly beautiful. I love the top picture too (oh the light!) and your art pieces, so intriguing. :)

i can't wait to see the quilt. i just love the use of fabric as paper and paper as fabric. it's wonderful. and those birch trees are wonderful too. makes me all nostalgic for the many years i lived in NY.

I love your work! I can sit forever and look at the magical universe you create in your art.

Beautiful and other-worldly Collages Amy,
I saw your works in the recent American painters issue(if I recall the book title right)and found them just mesmerizing. Thanks for showing. Kye
