Artist's Statement

I make original wall-hangings with my own painted fabrics, silk fusion, felt, hand embroidery, beading and dense machine-quilted surfaces, which I have been told can resemble a chaos pattern. I present lectures, trunk shows and classes for guilds, schools, art colleges, retreats, shops, the CQA, quilt festivals and national needlework shows. I am inspired by my spiritual beliefs about why we are here and what we are supposed to be doing while we are here, and I hope my work conveys wonder and joy. I find the whole process of working with textiles meditative and invigorating and I feel most blessed to be able to teach and create.
