My Background
Raising a family in the mountains of Western North Carolina has been a remarkable blessing. I have spent many years in close contact with nature. From the crab apple tree in our front yard to the families of deer frolicking in the woods behind our house, I bring this inspiration into my artwork.
My style is improvisational, allowing the artwork to develop as I go; each piece of fabric inspires the next, allowing me the freedom to follow the fabric and not force anything. Using hand dyed fabric, quilting and mixed media techniques, I create one-of-a kind fiber art quilts, fabric wall hangings and clergy stoles. The spirit of the mountains infuses all of my artwork, whether in the literal image of peaks, leaves and grasses, or in the subtler lines of thread weaving throughout my work.

Modern Art Quilts
Quilting is the backbone of my fiber art projects. Although the outward progress seems slow at times, patiently hand quilting is a discipline that I very much enjoy. It offers time to be still, pray and create all at once.
Each modern art quilt combines my love of distinctive fabrics with my passion for sewing. The quilts are made with a multitude of hand painted and dyed fabrics, applique work and embroidery. Some of the art quilts are crafted from richly colored batik fabric, some include inspirational quotes or bible verses, and some are embellished with buttons and other findings. |
Clergy Stoles
My faith fills my life, pointing me down every path I walk. Creating stoles for clergy members lets me offer an expression of my faith to those who guide us in serving God.
These reversible, handmade clergy stoles are crafted from hand dyed fabrics and often feature a verse of scripture. I designed these stoles to be reversible in order to provide the clergy member with options during the extended Liturgical Ordinary Times season. Some are designed for wear during special events like weddings or baptisms, with a reverse side to wear during Ordinary Times. A graduation stole also makes a thoughtful gift and acknowledgment of a call to God's service. What a wonderful way to offer gratitude to those who feed our souls with the Word. |
Pattern & Tutorials
I know there are many people in the world who enjoy a good art project as much as I do, but may not have the time or inclination to start from scratch. For this reason I have created a few patterns and tutorials for some of my favorite designs. Each downloadable PDF contains easy to follow, step by step instructions that will allow you to create your own fabric art project. You simply choose the fabrics and thread that speak to you and follow the instructions in the PDF – soon you will be making quilts, pillows and stoles as gifts and for your own personal enjoyment. The current patterns available include an embroidered verse and a small quilted art piece.
