Artist Commentary

Label

Katie paints to music. "Allegretto" is one in a series of explorations. The term is used in music, and indicates that a piece is to be played briskly or quickly. "I enjoy painting without any inhibition, then searching that painting for a perfect little composition that I can enlarge and make into a quilt. Sometimes I make a painting, then a quilt of that painting, then a portion of the quilt becomes inspiration for another painting, and that painting may hold another composition for a quilt. I like moving back and forth between the two."
