“My art quilts come from inspiration that surrounds me, each piece has a symbol within the design that has a special meaning to me. I have been working with cloth and fiber most of my life, however after being exposed to art quilting at the Quilters Studio my imagination began to expand and I continue to experiment with new techniques to achieve my goals. These goals sometimes change as I work when I ask myself, what if? The creative process is always evolving with new ideas, and my results are surprising.”
