Why I Quilt
I have loved designing with fabric since the age of nine. My life in the high desert of New Mexico offers a subtle symphony of colors and textures to stimulate the creation of new designs, new techniques. My quilting community offers support, friendship and teaching. I am a retired educator and writer who enjoys creativity in all dimensions of my life.

Why I Quilt
My quilts are primarily wall hangings, along with some functional items such as table runners, hotpads, etc. Contemporary quilts engage my fascination with design, abstraction, colors, textures and embellishments.
Imagery and mastery of techniques are my tools.
I have been juried into local , regional and national shows.

My Inspiration
I am especially inspired by the stories of women from various cultures and experiences. I began with a tribute to the more than 400 women of Juarez, Mexico who were lost to violence from drug cartels. Others include a flamenco dancer, Native American shawl dancer, and a folkoricio dancer from Jalisco, Mexico. I hope to evokefeelings and emotions through my creations.
