Artist Profile

I use spontaneity and happy accidents in the majority of my pieces.  I work intuitively trying to incorporate color, line and texture in my pieces.  I use a lot of unusual fabric, such as upholstery scraps, mesh fabrics, dryer sheets and my own hand dyed, rust dyed or painted material.  Even small scraps are stashed away for later use. When working with colorful scraps my studio space is often filled with a creative disarray of enthusiasm.  I like to try to create fluidity in my pieces and incorporate dimension with trapunto and free flowing objects.  My current work is intermingled with my love for Haiku and poetry.  Many pieces are a visual interpretation of my one of my poems.  This is only the start of my artistic journey as I continue to experiment with new sewing techniques.

Recently I have stated making quilted messenger bags, quilted journal covers, purses, laptop bags, bookmarks and more. Visit my website to see some of my work.
