Artist Commentary

Label

"I have loved floral quilts ever since seeing the Whitehill Collection quilts at the Denver Museum in 1986. I've made floral quilts ever since." "Roses, cosmos, Gerbera daisies, and lilies, along with animals, populate my quilts. I try to sew with passion and precision. I hope my quilts speak to the need to care for our planet's flowers and animals." "Hopefully my quilts make people happy, stay in their minds, and encourage them to become quiltmakers too."
