Artist Commentary

Label

"A passion for creating something of substance from raw materials led me to quilting. It is this same "making" that has helped me find the strength and resiliency to be found in what is sensitive and fragile. I want to portray the poetry in the visual. These early works are an attempt to manage (I no longer want to use the word "control") chaos, as portrayed by my use of color."
