Personal Biography
I have been quilting since 1990 and am a self-taught artist. All of my work is hand quilted, hand bound and are original designs using traditional quilt blocks. Most of my quilts made to date have been full size to king size quilts with moderate size quilts now just coming into my series work. I am currently working on 4 separate series and 3 commission pieces.
My quilts, wall hangings and home decor reside in private collections and homes across the US as well as internationally, and have been sold at auctions as well as fundraising raffles for national charitable organizations and retirement commissions. I also have done custom hand quilting on clients antique and contemporary quilt tops.
