Artist Commentary

Label

"I began making unique garments and woven wall hangings in 1962. In 1980 I exhibited my first art quilts. To move from garments to two-dimensional art work designed for the wall was a big leap for me. My main focus was color. I love traditional and classic quilts but they are just not on my list of things to accomplish. I began and continue to work with color first, as evident in my 1980s kimono titles such as Red, Hot, Cool Kimono. I have enjoyed a life of travel to exotic destinations, meeting extraordinary people, experiencing more joys than sorrows. I am forever grateful to those who make it possible for me to live life to the fullest.”
