Comments on: Artist Spotlight: Maurine Roy https://blog.lyrickinard.com/2012/12/artist-spotlight-maureen-roy/ find joy, be inspired, create beauty Thu, 20 Dec 2018 04:49:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: MaryAnn Hardy https://blog.lyrickinard.com/2012/12/artist-spotlight-maureen-roy/#comment-3800 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:57:08 +0000 http://lyrickinard.com/blog/?p=1129#comment-3800 Thank you for the lovely story about Maurine. I’ve had the pleasure to share time with her at an annual quilting retreat in Pt. Townsend. She is a WONDERFUL woman to share any time, any space, any laughter with. SHE is a treasure among all the treasures she has created. She is an artist, but she is also an artist of life: she embraces you with her warmth and good humor and good sense. We can learn a lot from Maurine, and not only about her wonderful artistic gifts. She faces life with a sense of humor and acceptance. She’s able to see the beauty AND the fun in what we have at hand…and off she goes, manipulating and creating and producing lovely objects for the rest of us to enjoy. Thank you Maurine! And thanks to Lyric for opening the door …just a little…to Maurine’s world.

It is superb, surpassed only by her sparkly and loving personality. Carry on, Maureen!

This is amazing art, as if she is painting through her quilting. She is versatile and prolific. Some of the quilts are very traditional and some wildly abstract–all beautifully executed. Stunning work. I didn’t realize she did so many other types of art like the sculptures. I’m going to be snooping around next time I visit her house.

A group of us meet every fall at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, Washington and it is so much fun to see what everyone is up to. Maurine shared her letter from the QOV recipient with me, since I am deeply involved with the program (see http://www.qovf.org) and I was also brought to tears. I’ve only known Maurine as a “quilter”, and didn’t know about the other talents. She is not only a talented artist, she is a very special person too. So proud to know her.

Good for you, Maurine. You and your quilts are magnificent and you are an inspiration to all us “old girls”.

Lyric, you did a magnificent job on capturing the essence of this wonderful lady. I am privileged to be a friend of Maurine’s for many years and I admire everything she accomplishes. She is a kind, lovely lady who is willing to help and advise anyone asking for guidance. I do not know of any of Maurine’s work that I do not love and admire. It certainly is my fortune to be a friend and in her company. Her work is really outstanding and delightful to see. Such inspiration abounds in her mind. Maurine is magnificent in all her wonderful art mediums.

Miss you at what we now abreviate as “FO”, but really glad to see you at Ft. Worden in the fall. Ellin

What a lovely woman, and an inspiration to all of us. Just watching her create gives us all a boost in our creative quests. So talented!
