The softness and accessibility of fabric began and belongs in the home. Fabric can bring the feeling and comfort of “home” wherever it goes. I can’t imagine a better kind of art to have on the walls of my home but that which is made from fabric. My observation over the years is that quilts appeal to everyone; the most unlikely of us will often find ourselves compelled to get close and touch. Quilts do not simply add interest to a space as an another art piece or object might, they also add comfort. The nature of a quilt (simply defined as any two or three layers stacked and joined together), provides a soft dimension and texture that is real and wholesome.

As art, the graphic nature of quilt design provides a contemporary look to an ages-old technique, making today’s quilt relevant, recognizable, and accessible. My primary interest is color. As my gallery grows you will notice that I explore many color schemes, providing something for any palette that may appeal to you. I work very flexibly with design – choosing several design units or ideas to make up the basis of the design, and then working within those self-imposed restraints to create the composition. If you see a color palette you like, note it. If you see a design idea you like, note that as well. I enjoy the challenge of working with you to make what you see as the right fit for where you need your piece to be.
