I use textiles to explore line, color and shape. Building on my roots in traditional quilt making, my current work is contemporary, relying on improvisation and spontaneity guided by the materials. I work intuitively; inspiration comes from nature, as well as the pure joy of combining color and line in unique and exciting ways. Layering fabrics and stitching in non-traditional ways and incorporating unconventional materials, results in textures and form that express the mood and vision behind the inspiration. Making art surrounded by textiles is meditative and encompassing.
