Selected Artist Quilts & Wearable Art

I have always been a fiber artist, but  have also been a writer/illustrator, painter, wearable art maker,  costume designer, muralist, print-maker, and a mother. My work is the  fusion of traditional needlework (skills given to me by my mother and  grandmother), with the fine arts: drawing, painting, printing, and  printmaking, along with a lot of mixed media. I tend to work in series;  one of my ongoing series is the celebration of women’s lives, portraits  and "herstories."

I work intuitively.  Each work is made using multilayered processes: exploring "what if" and  experimenting with what might happen if I mix and match whatever medium  I’m utilizing at the moment. I draw, paint, dye, and print onto fabric,  paper, or both, which are then quilted, beaded, hand- or  machine-embroidered, and embellished with things from "my  collections." I also do collages with the same kind of embellishments. 

I consider myself a fiber/mixed-media/quilt artist.
