For as long as I can remember, I have expressed myself through artwork. My formal training was primarily in design, drawing, and studio painting. After many years of painting, sewing and experimenting with other media, I discovered that fabric, as an artistic medium, best expressed my personal vision. I love the tactile qualities of cloth, and the unlimited color range made possible by hand dyeing and painting. For the last twelve years, I have been a quiltmaker, that is, my work is constructed from layers of fabric, stitched together. The focus of my work is on the qualities of color, line, and texture, that will engage the spirit and emotions of the viewer, evoking a sense of mystery, excitement, or joy. Illusions of movement, depth, and luminosity are common to most of my work

Both my geometric, three-dimensional, color studies, and my more organic, two dimensional abstracts are inspired by visual impressions, collected in my travels, in my everyday life, and in my imagination. My work is about seeing, experiencing, and imagining, rather than pictorial representation of any specific object or species. I intend for my quilts to be seen and enjoyed by others. It is my hope that they will lift the spirits and delight the eyes of those who see them.
