My quilts reveal what catches my eye throughout the day. The patterns and colors that I see tug on my heart, and quilting allows me to develop that connection between my eyes and my heart: myself with the world.

Landscapes, both natural and man-made, offer infinite inspiration and information to my quilts. Sidewalks and concrete pavements with their lines and cracks; gardens in the neighborhood with their patches of color; and, while traveling in plane, the skies and fields of color below. Also, the infinite surprises! Weeds and tree saplings busting through the concrete; the visual delight of a plate of cookies; the magic and mystery of my yard. All these things bubble to the surface when I quilt - when I engage with fabric I journey through the days of my life, my memories, and all my senses.
