Traces of Place -- A Johnson Collaboration

Daughter Anna Maria and her husband have been working hard on an upcoming art show (March) at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY, in which both will display their talents. I've uploaded many of Steven's works on this blog, but have few of Anna Maria's to display. Above Anna Maria is showing a page from one of the books she has made. She's been leading workshops wherein participants make books demonstrating the moments that have shaped their life's pathways; in so doing she is combining her love of counseling and art, and the particpants see how the pieces of their life have fit together.
On the wall is one of her most recent weavings. Besides book and paper making, Anna Maria spins yarn, and then weaves tapestries and wall hangings, or she knits or crochets (her hat is one of her projects).
