I am an art quilter, which means I cut up perfectly good fabric and put it back together. Sometimes sewn, sometimes collaged, but always layered and stitched, the colors and textures of textiles are a never-ending inspiration. I’m drawn to bright colors and abstract lines but am inconstant and enjoy an occasional trip into realistic portrayals of the world around me. In short, I love to play, learn, teach, collaborate, and not follow the rules.
Love and thanks to Ethel (my grandma) and Dora (my mom); your guidance, and immeasurable patience, eclipse anything I’ve learned from the myriad of books lining my shelves.
