Current portfolio
Earth Moving is my latest work from my Earth Series. It is 18″w by 24″h stretched around canvas. It contains the “Earth” fabrics along with silk ribbons.
I just mailed this piece to Rochester, New York for their Annual Exhibition running December 2024 to February 2025. I will post more details when available.
Here my statement on this piece –
The Earth moves beneath such as life.
This connection is all that we have,
all that we are.”
My new series of quilted works that embodied the many layers of the Earth that we inherited. Grounded from my birth, I really wanted to showcase the beauty in the Earth’s different surfaces.
If you remember from my January post, this year’s theme is travel and transporting. One can transport through time, space and location. With Earth, I want to take you on a journey of Self through this beautiful land that is all that we have and all that we are.
Watch this video of my artist statement and first pieces coming out of this series.

This year I want to focus on sustainable art practice and the two major shifts that I’ve had from this past year. I realize that wanting to do it all should not be my goal but instead maintaining a practice that I can is most important right now. At the same time, I want to make progress each year for the art studio. Yearly progress will move the studio to where I need it to be for the next few years and beyond towards my career retirement.
MITs. Most Important Things. What are my “big rocks” for this year? I have been tracking my progress with quilting for 20 years in this document! Read more about my 2 major shifts for the year and about my goal areas for the year. Check out my evolution here –
Artist Statement:
This mosaic quilt is representative of the vibrancy, evolution and activity in nature throughout the seasons.
Process
This quilt uses 27 different pieces of fabric – commercial cottons, raw silks, and my own digital fabric. Pieces are cut leaving raw edges and then carefully positioned on a whole piece of interfacing to form the mosaic top. The quilt sandwich is the mosaic top, organic acrylic felt and backing cotton fabric. The sandwich is sewn together using cotton thread and then binded with mitered corners.

Artist Statement
Inspired by Like Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Through abstract representation, this quilt explores the spirit of each season from an emotional level, from bottom to top and back around.
Process
This quilt uses 20 different pieces of fabric – commercial cottons, raw silks, upholstery and my own hand-dyed and digital fabric. Pieces are cut leaving raw edges and then carefully positioned on a whole piece of interfacing to form the mosaic top. The quilt sandwich is the mosaic top, organic acrylic felt and backing cotton fabric. The sandwich is sewn together using cotton thread and then binded with mitered corners.
Artist Statement:
When you look at a flower head on, the leaves flow out from the center. But if you look the flower from the bottom then the leaves flow out and up from the center. Thus the name Rise Up!. This quilt is hand-painted with Derwent dye blocks and drawn on with fabric-marked Kona cottons. Making this soulful floral quilt was always in the plan. Unlike other quilters, I’ve waited a long time to do florals; always waiting for that unique way of looking at a subject that so many have looked at and covered. Rise Up! is appropriate for these times as we seek new looks, new perspectives to disappointingly familiar scenarios. Constantly creating, praying and rising up to elevate myself and the world around me.

Statement:
The 4th work in the Tales from the Innervision quilt series, Leveling Up represents the ascension in one’s personal life. Leveling up is the elevation to reach the next chapter, next stage, next phase, next plateau in one’s existence. This is a personal exercise for each human being and means something different to each one.
Statement:
The 3rd work in the Tales from the Innervision quilt series, Crossing Roads is the personal discovery of the terrain of life. Like traveling over different terrains, life’s journey consists of crossing many roads that are full of turns, ups, downs, stops, starts, rough patches and smooth ones.
Statement:
The 2nd work in the Tales from the Innervision quilt series, Seeing My Way Out of Blue represents the eventual transformation of a human being out of the muck and mire of life’s visceral levels into a deeper, psychic realm of existence.
