About the artist

Most of my life, I have made art.  Sometimes my tool consisted of paints and brushes, occasionally words and a pen; often my choice was a camera.   Most recently, a needle, thread and palette of colorful fabrics have been my art supplies.

Frequently, I combine the tools I have used in the past in conjunction with my quilting.  Often I go to my photographs for inspiration and ideas.  Sometimes the images from my photographs find their way onto the fabric and become part of my quilt.  Just as often, I may need to embellish my quilts with paint, dye or inks.

My work is inspired by nature and guided by color.

I am a retired writer/photographer whose passion is fiber art.  We moved to the shores of Lake Keowee, South Carolina in 2004 and I would live nowhere else.
