I have been making art quilts for twelve years. Although I began my art career as a painter, I became increasingly dissatisfied working in two dimensions. Fabric gives a three-dimensional quality to my images. Additional sculpting is achieved with the use of thread in the quilting process which binds the fabric layer to batting and backing. I love the texture of different fabrics. I love the fact that, unlike traditional paintings, my quilts can be folded, touched, handled. Through my quilts I conduct a conversation with myself about life, nature, politics, and art, and I invite viewers to join me in my explorations.
