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.
