Creator of unique, hand stitched, textile art.

Touchable Textile Art: When was the last time you wanted to touch a painting or photograph? Did you have an urge to run your hand over the artwork and feel the texture? With textile artwork, much like sculpture and woodcarvings, this is one of the first reactions clients have to my artwork. They want to feel the texture of the hand stitching, feel the fabric, get closer to the piece. Viewers are naturally drawn into textile art and it is a great addition to any art collection.

My web site is a continual work in progress. It is updated at least weekly with new exhibition information, new artwork, and new hand dyed fabrics. I am making every effort to present a large sampling of my commissions, art quilts, and home decor textile pieces. Some work is not included by request of clients who want their work seen only as they have it displayed in their home, office, or gallery.

My studio is focused on creating textile artworks in the art quilt genre. Each piece is designed by me, constructed, hand quilted, and bound by me. I do not hire out these aspects of my work. My hand is what makes them truly unique from other textile artworks. 
 
There are three new series that are unfolding in the Works in Progress section. Please check back often as changes will be occurring frequently. As new web site pages are completed, they will be available for viewing.

The above piece, Art Deco #1 completed in 2009, is the beginning of a new series I am working on. Art Deco #2 sold in the Studio Art Quilt Associates Reverse Auction in September of 2009. You can see this piece on my Exhibition Openings page.

I am in the process of garnering gallery representation, but until that is completed, you may purchase my available works through my Gallery site by clicking on the link. Payments are made through Paypal so your credit card and banking information is totally secure.

The textile artwork that is not currently out on exhibition, can be scheduled for a private viewing in my studio. Please remember that this is a working studio so advance notice is required. By special request, I have taken pieces to clients for viewing, but only when travel expenses are covered. 

For those familiar with traditional quilt size conventions, you will notice that all of the sizes listed for my work has the height first and then the width. Quilt shows usually list the width first and then the height. Listing the height first and then the width is the customary size conventions used for fine artwork such as paintings and drawings which are displayed on walls. I have utilized this size convention here so that there is consistantcy in my web site, that matches the fine art exhibitions that my work currently fits into.
