About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. by my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I decided I was going to become a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild at 15, the youngest member at that time. I was completely out of place, I tried to go unnoticed, a mute fly on the wall, with a big smile pasted on my face.
I've continued to paint most of my life.
After a move to Oregon years later, I was introduced to quilting and fell in love.
I was introduced to quilting & fell in love.
In time I missed the creative freedom painting made possible.
Then I discovered mixed media fiber art, I was home.
MY APPROACH TO ART
It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. Starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, I follow where that leads. There are often many changes and adjustments along the way. The result can often be surprizing.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions as they present themselves.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction.
I love that element of surprize!
Sometimes I have one that I especially like, I can't wait to show someone.
At that moment l feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
I’ve had some of my work published in several magazines. which is exciting. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.

About My Work
I can’t remember a time in my life, when it wasn’t filled with art. I was a painter most of my adult life. When exposed to a new art form, art quilting, it was a perfect fit.
My love of painting painting could be combined with techniques used in quilting, expanding my creative choices. Offering new directions to explore. It was exciting.
The greatest appeal for me in creating art is the creative process. The work takes a direction all it’s own. Following where it leads can be surprising. I love that element of surprise!
When I’m especially pleased with a art quilt I’ve finished, I can’t wait to show someone.
I feel like a 6 year old running home from school with his artwork in hand, he can’t wait to show Mom!
When I’m excited a art I’ve just finished, I’m like that 6 year old. And I’m smiling like the Cheshire cat!
