My Blog Bio
I design and create vivid geometric abstract contemporary quilts.
Some people call these things art quilts, or studio quilts, or fiber art, or studio art quilts or any number of other terms. I prefer the term “quilts” but it conjures up images of our grandmother’s quilts. And while traditional quilts are beautiful, they aren’t what I make, so I’ve added the term contemporary to better define my choice of art media.
Whatever you want to call them, quilts are my passion. My goal is to become the very best artist possible and so I spend most of my free time making art. I’m extremely motivated and have a reputation for being very productive and focused.
I show my work in juried competitions, small group shows and I’m now working towards having more solo and featured exhibitions of my art. My work has been published several times and in 2003 was selected for the cover of the Quilt National catalog. So my quilt is displayed on amazon.com!
I’m also a full time software engineer, a single mom, a home owner, avid gardener and I love spending time hiking in the mountains of Colorado. Life is a whirlwind of exciting experiences with little time to rest, yet I feel it is important to maintain a history of my art work [what inspires me, what I'm working, what outside influences are effecting my work, etc] and hence I blog – the obvious journaling choice for a geek artist in the early 21st century.
I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts and looking at my quilts.
