Silver Spirals

As the

youngest sister of two older brothers I was often considered

to be a bother. Spending our summers on the beaches of Lake

Huron, it was my father who discovered the perfect distraction.

He would have me comb the beaches for the tumbled glass that

would wash up on shore. A nickel for clear, ten cents for

the brown or green, and a whole quarter for blue or violet,

which often brought a near celebration and perhaps even more

than a quarter on a good day. Today, these colors influence

my art and I am thankful for the distraction that has colored

my life.
