​

I often say that I compose my memories. I remember places I’ve been, people I’ve met; I remember landscapes and colors, song titles and lyrics, fragments of conversations. And, I remember my impressions. 

The imagery I use incorporates the bits and pieces of letters, chopped-up geometric shapes, and repetitive units.

Machine piecing is my major technique, sewing together shapes and lines that have been both free-hand and precision cut. Most of my work uses commercial solid cotton fabric. The closely-spaced quilting stitches are sewn blending the thread color to each individual fabric color and provide texture, giving life to a flat piece of constructed fabric.
