springtime flowers reflected in clear water creating the fabrics All of the fabric in this Art Quilt is discharged, dyed and/or painted by me. I used a technique known as “arashi shibori” – wrapping fabric on a 4” diameter piece of PVC pipe, winding that with cotton crochet string, and […] This was my first breakthrough piece of 2014: (C)2014 24″ x 24″ $1500 This is like the path on which my mind travels. I go through phases of clear linear thinking, scrambled confusion, spiraling ideas and centering prayer. I am continually asking myself ‘what if…?’ I have been wanting to combine my art quilting and […] I wanted to share a few photos of “Swirls” as I was working on it. I thought I’d write a bit about the process- like a tutorial perhaps. But what’s on my mind at the moment is how frustrating this piece was to make. I might have give up any number of times, except […] During the month of March, I had the opportunity to share my ArtQuilts in a unique venue- the Japanese Friendship Garden in downtown Phoenix.

This gallery is fabulous – it is owned and operated by the city of Chandler (the Chandler Cultural Foundation). I feel really happy to have my work in this space. Brave the road construction on Arizona Avenue, south of Chandler Blvd and stop in – […] I have a solo show!Well, its the coffee shop at church, but it is a nice space and good motivation to work.
