”While
I have tried other creative outlets, the tactile pleasure of working with fabric
and manipulating it into original quilt designs is what I love most. In recent
years I have moved away from producing purely decorative pieces and have used my
quilts as a form of social commentary. I feel driven to try to influence the
acceptance of this medium on an equal basis with other art forms and to
encourage an appreciation of quilts for their beauty and sometimes profound
messages all the while remembering and valuing their modest roots.”
