I developed my curiosity with mixed media art when I was young, always inspired by nature and encouraged by my grandmother to create with my hands. Although I have no formal training, I have learned many techniques and processes that I use to create my designs, and my style. I prefer working with fabrics that I have dyed and printed with plants and flowers, including sun(cyanotype) prints and painted block prints. The slow and meditative process of hand stitching adds texture and color to my art quilts. My work tells a story of joy found in the beauty of nature, life, and imagination through fabric, color, and stitch.
