I use a mixture of African and African-inspired fabrics. The focus of my work eschews perfection of pattern, but rather appreciates the means to express a concept or feeling. Although many of my quilts are hung on the wall, they are Quilts first, meaning they are able to be used, in the traditional sense, for warmth. Hand quilting allows the energy transfer from me to the quilt and back to me…energy “stored” and available to provide comfort and healing.

Art As-Meditation, improvisational piecing, has been an amazing way in which to celebrate the joys of life and healing of the heart, sometimes expressing what words could not convey. Wishing to share this avenue of expression, I have conducted many classes for quilters and non-quilters over the last six years.

I am a Professional Art Member of Studio Art Quilt Association, and continue to teach and offer trunk shows, encouraging the creation of “spirit” quilts. I have a B.A. degree in Home Economics and an M.S. Degree in Textile Sciences.
