About me

Location	Dallas, Texas, United States
Introduction	My education in molecular biology and medical illustration still figures in my work with an underlying sense structure and organizing principles. I see a direct connection with the concept of quilt and the assembly of units to make a larger whole. I work on 5-10 quilts at a time, often in two different series. This way of working suits the nature of my mind. Series and ideas overlap, playing off of one another. I use my visual vocabulary to weave my work together, creating patterns and layers of meaning. I revel in the simple act of placing one fabric next to another.
