I am a surface pattern designer, specializing in fabric designs for the quilting fabric industry. I am also a quilt pattern designer, quilt maker and art quilter. I create my fabric designs with traditional art media, such as watercolor and ink and also digital art, using Adobe Fresco, Procreate, Illustrator and Photoshop because in addition to art & quilting, I run a marketing design business, ETM Creative.  I love how fabric design and quilting combine and rely on both art & design.

I’ve been involved with the Urbandale Art Gallery since 2013. Selecting artists, helping to install and promote art in this very public space at the library in my town is very rewarding. If you’re an artist interested in a space to exhibit, please get in touch with me. I’d love to meet you!

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.
Terms: Decorative Arts

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
