Artist's Statement
It seems like I’ve always had a needle in my hand. From embroidering as a little girl, to making most of my own clothes as a teen and beyond, to trying most forms of needlework as an adult, I have been the happiest when sewing and creating.

Except for the occasional garment and baby quilt, all else fell to the wayside when I discovered art quilts. I draw my inspiration from many places, such as nature, travel, architecture or just the pure love of color. My quilts are usually distinguished by their use of saturated hues and vivid contrast. Most of my work features my hand dyed fabrics and extensive free motion machine quilting.

I have had fun exploring different concentrations and combinations of color when dyeing my fabric and often this leads to a series. Crisp piecing, sometimes combined with fused appliqué, gives another dimension to my work.
