A fine arts and graphic design background has influenced my fabric
art. Each of the collages, art quilts, and soft sculptures I create
is a painting in fabric. My dyed and painted cloth is cut, sewn,
and manipulated into exciting compositions that play with textures,
colors, and patterns.
Recently I was filmed by HGTV for a national program segment on fiber artists working in their studios.
