Hand-dyed, heat bonded appliqué, machine stitched. Growing up in a family if 4 children, we had our share of split milk at the dinner table. Now at family gatherings when the drinks overturn we all stand up, toast and cheer.

Wool, silk, cotton, mixed content fibers. Machine stitched and shaped. I am inspired by the natural texture of branches, vines and bark.

Hand dyed & commercial cotton fabrics, heat bonded appliqué, tulle overlays, machine stitched. Inspired by looking up into the trees while hiking in northern Wisconsin woods.

Hand dyed and commercial fabrics, heat-bonded appliqué, found objects, candy wrappers. Machine stitched. In reflecting on the value of materials, I discovered that the candy wrappers behind my couch were almost as entertaining and valuable as my kids who left them there.

Hand-dyed and commercial fabrics, heat bonded appliqué, machine stitched. The joy of creating sometimes cascades into an abundance of kinetic energy. My partner, an electrician by occupation, and my patron of the arts, keeps me grounded.

Hand-dyed cotton, tulle, netting, postage stamps. I like to collect and incorporate non-traditional materials in my work, including postage stamps. I admire these mini-works of art. I added stamps from my collection & my dad’s.
