Welcome!
Ah...fabric, thread, beautiful colors and patterns! The art quilt is my way to express the joy I feel observing creation. My medium is fabric and thread. Fibers add a texture depth to my art.
Since 2005 I have been making "art" quilts that resemble paintings. I find this to be filled with challenges and rewards.
I have sewn clothes since childhood and now spend most of my sewing time making quilted art. Using photography as inspiration and various techniques, I make quilted fine art scenes. My style is to quilt my art on my home sewing machine. I have done portraits as well as many landscapes.

It looks black in the photo, but actually there are very dark shades of blue and red added to the black.
(Always a little reward for the really close observer)
Best of Show
Big excitement!!
My new quilt "Begonia Picotee" won Best of Show at the Humboldt Arts' Council Member's Show. It will be on exhibit through December and is in the upstairs gallery. (Morris Graves Museum of Art, Eureka, CA) stop by and see the art if you have time. There are some interesting pieces on display.
I am very thankful to have my work recognized in an art show.
The piece is a painted Begonia with heavy threadplay (very heavy).
