​Welcome to my website!
​

I became a quilter in the year 2000.  My journey began when I stumbled across a quilting program on television and was intrigued by what I saw.   Initially, I used patterns for traditional-style blocks to make useable, functional quilts.  A couple years later I got out pencil and paper and began drafting and sketching my own designs.  In late 2004, I entered my first quilt show.  With that delightful experience, my quilting passion took a detour to wall art almost exclusively.  I enjoy working with bold colors and jewel tones for visual impact and use high-quality 100% cotton fabrics in my quilts.  Occasionally I will also use 'specialty' fabrics to create specific design elements on the surface of a piece.  For example, organza, tulle, velvet, sateen, etc.
​One might notice that my quilts, in general, are diverse in appearance and style.  I work according to inspiration and what interests me; and will use whatever construction methods needed to create a piece. ​The commonality in most of my work is the use of embellishment and creating dimensional elements.  It may be as simple as enhancing the fabric with pigment inks to add color, shading, or detail; or more involved embellishing with beadwork, Swarovski crystals, or the use of fabric manipulation to make dimensional elements that are either pieced into, or appliqued onto the surface of a piece. 

​Since retiring from lecture/trunk shows and teaching I have offered many of my award-winning quilts and non-competition pieces for sale.  See the 'Art for Sale' page.​
