Line as a design element has intrigued me above and beyond other elements, with color as a close second.  Line presents itself to me in countless ways; the natural environment of the wooded areas of Connecticut where I grew up; the Arizona landscape where I now live, with its saguaro cactus; in city skylines; in architecture; in the simple things like cooking utensils and building materials.  Dividing lines in sidewalks, mortar lines in buildings; the list is endless.

I work in the abstract by choice; it challenges me, and invites the viewer to evoke their own personal experiences and emotions.

  It is natural for me to create art quilts to integrate my love for line, color and composition, which allows me to compose in the larger scale I crave. I love the sensuous feel of fabric, the ease in which it is manipulated, and its ability to take color in dye and paint.
