Transforming fabric and fiber into complex objects fascinates me. I enjoy using colors, textures, and patterns to translate ideas into tangible forms. The multiple layers and dimensionality of quilted objects provide additional avenues enhance my ideas.
My life-long love of the outdoors and scientific training color my ideas and designs. I tend towards the colors and themes of nature, science and mathematics. Being part of a quilt and fiber artists has expanded my ideas of quilt making, giving me a universe of possibilities to explore.
Just as a scientist uses multiple facts to create a new theory, and a computer programmer strings commands together to create a new program, I transform a variety of materials into complex new object.
