Artist Statement
My artistic career began in papercutting. After experimenting with framed paper quilts, I decided to move on to fabric and instantly knew this was for me. My creative mind, love of color, and attention to detail could all be utilized in this medium. All of my wall quilts are one-of-a-kind originals which will never be duplicated.
I love transforming the ugly or discarded into something beautiful. I call these my “Re-Creations”. My inspiration often comes from unexpected places; flea markets, yard sales, my mother’s attic, and even my own garage. I often find myself envisioning the hidden potential of an object. So far, I have made designer pillows from timeworn clothing and handpainted chairs from old school desks. Some would say I am a hopeless junk collector. I prefer to think of myself as a savior of the imperfect.
