“Fundamentally a storyteller, my goal is to create thought-provoking narratives using fabric, dyes, silkscreens, and ink to develop a visual dialogue with the viewer. The interpretation of each piece is conceived through the lens of individual memories and perspectives. My quilts marry a lifelong fascination with photography, history, and stitch, often reflecting faces of pride and dignity, sometimes under challenging circumstances. The stories I attempt to express, whether historical or personal, reflect upon our diverse American fabric, and shared human experiences.  It is my hope that my work will possibly remind the viewer of someone or something they may have forgotten, compelling them to linger, just a moment longer.”
