I make fibre art to capture the beauty of the natural world. The process of creating fibre art is as interesting to me as the product so I am always exploring new ways to express my ideas. I have been making art and doing needlework most of my life but it was toward the end of my academic career as a psychologist that I began to formally study art and to make art quilts.
Most of my quilts are made using raw edge appliqué, fabric collage, thread painting and free motion machine embroidery. They are often embellished with beads and paint. A few years ago, I began to incorporate felt into my art quilts and now I work mainly in felt.
I am a member of the International Feltmakers Association, Quilted Mouse Guild, Fibre Arts Explorers, Rimon Calgary and the Burns Visual Arts Society.
