Biography

I discovered the exhilaration of the art world. I walked through the revolving doors, and never looked back. I’ve always been an art admirer, seeking out museums and galleries and the energy I receive from visiting these places.

I am an Art/Multi Media Quilter and my usual medium is fabric. I use fabric to create an original design using my photos, sketches and imagination. Frequently, I use hand-dyed or manipulated fabric which I have created. I use machine stitching to continue the design flow, and hold the fabric together, and sometimes hand-stitching depending on the work of art.

I am a self-taught artist, learning through classes, reading, observation, trial and error and a mentor. I consider myself to be on a continuous learning curve, and experimenting often with new techniques which lead me to new ideas in art.
