Greer, SC
Artist Statement
I have been a sewist for many years, with emphasis on garment sewing, creating much of my own wardrobe. I gradually expanded into other areas including home dec, purses and accessories, and eventually quilting.
With a new interest in art quilts, I enjoy exploring the use of other mediums in combination with traditional forms. I particularly like working with specialty fabrics such as silks or felted wool.
In addition to textile art, I also enjoy watercolor painting and have begun applying those paint techniques to textile painting.
