STORY QUILTS
Each story quilt I create is melded with an open ended account of human experience that inspires and guides the imagery. These narrative quilts are layered cloth vessels filled with aesthetics, experience and memory, and I think of them as ‘fabric documents’. My intent is to offer an invitation to think, respond and react - allowing one to come to their own conclusion about the meaning of what is seen.
Professionally finished with a hanging sleeve & rod, a gallery wrapped mount, or a framed mount.

QUILTED SPIRITUALITY
“ ...just as the pieces of the quilt are sewn together with interlocking stitches, all people are linked together in the fabric of our world. In a way, the patchwork quilt represents all the different people of the world. We are individual in our attitudes, lifestyles and backgrounds, yet we share so much of what it means to be human.”
- Theresa Gustafson

MEMORY JOURNALS
My fiber art books are stitched recollections. The hand-stitched pages become private, sacred space where the processing of transformative life events is captured. Creation of a journal is an intimate time for me as the cloth and thread becoming symbolic layers of protection and healing.
