Artist Statement: |
|
|
|
I love the tactile quality of fabric as my medium of art. Making quilts & quilting allows me to express my creativity to the fullest. I am highly influenced by the simple geometric shapes, clean lines and the graphic depiction of color in Folk Art and Mid Century Modern Art. I am constantly learning and evolving as an Artist. | |
As a Professional Quilt Artist, I offer Quilting for Hire Services and I am also Commissioned by people to make quilts from start to finish to commemorate events, milestones & to enhance interiors of Corporate & Residential spaces. | |
