Art Quilts

My artistic focus has meandered from painting to quilt making, and from traditional quilts to a more artistic use of fabrics. As usual, I am drawn to color with a new ability to use stitching to achieve texture I never could with paint.
Art quilts are suitable for hanging on their own, or framed under glass.
To purchase a piece, please see my Etsy shop here, or contact me.
