Discovering the joy of imperfection...

Making art is not the job of the cowering perfectionist.  I've learned not only to live with, but also to love my mistakes; to see them as an opportunity for further explorations and artistic adventures.

The process of making art is as important to me as the end result. I am primarily a quilt artist. The tactile nature and physical processes of quilt making — dyeing, painting, cutting, and manipulating the fabric in the sewing machine — really rock  my boat.
