I'm a fiber artist specializing in abstract contemporary quilts for the wall. I'm particularly interested in color and the way colors interact with each other to enhance our experience of the world. Many of my designs draw on the traditions of the past, but reinterpret them in a contemporary way, reflecting the fact that I started out many years ago with traditional patterns and techniques. In the last decade, I began to feel the need to create my own designs so the fiber art I made would be truly mine. Since then, my work has been shown in local and regional shows in the Washington, DC area, as well as nationally in venues from New York to California. I'm thrilled when one of my pieces speaks to someone else so they want to live with it in their home or office. My formal education includes a BA in Fine Arts from the College of William and Mary and an MBA from George Washington University. I used quiltmaking as a creative outlet for many years as I pursued a career in financial journalism. My work is represented by Chasen Galleries in Richmond, VA and can be found in a number of private collections all over the country. I am a Professional Artist member of Studio Art Quilt Associates and on the Board of Directors for the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery in Alexandria, VA and Great Falls Studios in Great Falls, VA.
