Artist's Statement
"Through the exploration of cloth as my medium choice...abstraction, shape and use of color are the primary components repeated through my work. My approach is improvisational and organic, and I am most often stimulated by spirituality, nature, and world events. The beginning of a composition varies from a vague idea to a detailed sketch with a selected color pallet. Rarely does a finished piece completely resemble the initial idea, as I respond to the work as the composition develops. The creative process is the exciting part pushing me to present a unique worldview".
This workshop will be IN-PERSON only. No refunds available.

An artist and creator to the core, quilting is my medium of choice. There are so many aspects to the art of quilting that I love—the richness of community, the tactile nature, learning the basics and then bending the rules. Moving from traditional quilting, to art quilting, to a textile art focus has been a wonderful adventure.
I was born and raised in Denver, CO within a large and close-knit family and have never lived more than 20 miles from my place of birth. I travel frequently but could never even consider calling another place home. Before fully tapping into my creative work, I graduated from Regis University and worked in local government as a Human Resources professional.
My work has moved from flat art quilting into the sculptural realm, removing negative space and engaging the area in and around each piece. As a textile sculptress, I prefer to dye much of my own fabric for my creations. I have had numerous pieces juried into national and international shows and have mounted several successful solo exhibitions, including one currently at the National Quilt Museum. I am a Juried Artist member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) and a member of 4 Common Corners, an invitational art quilt group. I am looking forward to upcoming tapings on both The Quilt Show as well as Quilting Arts TV and I’m an avid quilting teacher.
In addition to quilting, I am passionately committed to environmental sustainability and my creative work often tells this story. I am constantly dazzled by this amazing and beautiful place we call home – Earth. It’s my goal to be a quiet activist for our planet. Through my art, I hope to inspire us all to stop and observe a sunset, smell the flowers, and remember that we are not separate from but rather a part of nature.
I currently live in Parker, CO with my life partner, two rescue dogs, Dolly and Lewis, and two fat cats.
