Bio:
My personal philosophy about art is color, color, color and texture, texture, texture. Don’t be shy about mixing things. It is the chemistry of mixing that creates the magic. I went to art school in Milwaukee and Minneapolis. My career began as a costume designer at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, and the Missouri Repertory Theatre in Kansas City. From there, I ventured into weaving and eventually quilting. My focus for the past 30 years has been quilted collages. I love to discover new fabrics, and friends bring me material from around the world. That sense of the world in textiles brings me great joy, leading me in new directions.

As always, the fabric in my studio stash inspired my creative spark, with my interest in design of typography and travel too.
