Fiber Art 2013 - 2020
I have been enamored with quilts all my life. Not only did I want them, but I wanted to make them and provide people with what I experienced in quilts as unconditional safety and love. As I age, I’ve appreciated quilts as heirlooms of family and cultural histories and the storytellers they are. It is with great privilege that I’m able to make quilts as art and leisure out of mostly new materials and not out of necessity and scraps as so many before me.
My quilt making and fiber art employs the use of colors and shapes to tell stories that celebrate our lives and world. The following is a curated selection of work from the past seven years commemorating amongst other things; the sky, Lake Michigan, homes, babies, Grandmas, lost pets, a blue shirt, dreams about tigers, gardens and unending hope for the future. All quilting and embroidering is done by hand.
