Gallery 1 exhibits some of my work from 1996-2005. With each image,
I have written a brief description of the initial inspiration for the work.

The inspiration, or in this case, the confusion brought about by living six months in one place and six in another, led me to this unplanned fractured log cabin quilt.

Domestic Divas

1940s and 50s women as they appeared in home sewing patterns were
my inspiration for this quilt. Most of the buttons used for embellishment
are bakelite and come from that same mid-century era.

My attempt at capturing the feeling of deprivation from too many years of strict dieting!

A color exercise with construction paper in a class with Ned Wert inspired this quilt, which includes my first attempt at hand stitching.
