Rainforest 30" x 24" private collection
My quilts are a mix of traditional and art quilting techniques. I love color.  My designs are often inspired by the beauty of nature and the changing seasons.  I like to use shapes from nature and play with them, experimenting with color and texture.  Sometimes designs come from the fabrics I find and sometimes from just an idea, what would happen if I did...?  I enjoy learning new ways of doing things and changing things from what they were before.  Quilts are my passion, joy and connection to the creative spirit in all of us.
