Art Quilts

Artist Statement

I started sewing and hand-quilting as part of a family tradition of quilt-making. I enjoy sewing and working with color to create something of beauty. However, I found that I craved a way to make something beautiful that was more interesting to me than sewing together the same triangles and rectangles that everyone used in traditional quilt-making. I transitioned to using colorful fabrics in original and unusual designs to construct something unique, beautiful, and compelling to me.

I love the exquisite colors, curves, and shapes found in nature, and use these in many of my quilts. I enjoy using accents of unusual colors to invite the viewer to pay attention.

I find I have always been driven to use my talent and creativity for production. I have a sense that I am on earth to accomplish something that I have not yet achieved.
