I create art: paintings, quilts and domestic environments. I have always played with color. For 25 years I worked with interior designers, creating custom art, painting on walls, canvases, floors, fireplaces, tile, mirrors and any other surface that needed art. I also created quilts, having started at age 9 learning hand quilting, piecing and applique from my Grandmother.

In 1974 I began using the skills she taught me, making 1 or 2 quilts a year. In 2007, having retired from making art for designers, my quilting moved in a new direction: art quilts. I discovered my painting and quilting didn't need to be separate!

My work now is as much about painting as quilting. I use my domestic machine and my new frame mounted machine to add texture to my painted art. I sometimes quilt on the painted canvas, adding applique through the quilting process. I also have my paintings digitally printed on fabric and then over paint, applique and free motion stitch. Most of my work is intuitive, playing with color, line, shape and composition.

I am happiest doing commision work or answering a "call" for an exhibit.
