Artist Statement
I love to design
innovative wearable art and landscape quilts. I have a passion for color,
imagery and pattern in fabric. The challenge for me lies in combining
elements from the fabrics to create flowing paintings. My free-form
techniques involve recycling, layering, fusing, texturizing,
thread-painting, quilting and embellishing.
Along with creating
quilts, I teach workshops, judge shows, compete in
juried exhibitions and sell my work in galleries
and specialty boutiques. I also run a Young
Designers Club teaching young people how to sew, quilt, and design.

Oriental Peach Jacket

I love to mix unusual color combinations and meld
them together to create a flow. Never did I think the black floral would
go with the lighter peach fabrics, but it worked.
Techniques - raw edge appliqué,
fused and machine appliqué, thread painted and texturized,
cotton fabrics
Mini Landscape Winner
24" x 24" - © 2005 - $
450.00
Each landscape is made from tiny
scraps of fabric, fused and machine stitched.
They are hand quilted to hand made paper, then stitched to 2 layers of
fringed decorator fabric.
Where Earth Touches Sky
28" x 42" - © 2005 - NFS
Each tiny landscape is made from
scraps of cotton, fused and machine stitched.
They are set into hand pieced stars; no two pieces are the same. The
star blocks were left over from a larger wall quilt made and sold to
Walt Disney. I had to take out the plain centers pieces to piece the new
landscapes in….very intricate work.
