I was born and raised in Los Angeles California and after receiving my Art History degree from UCLA joined my parents' antique business, Richard Gould Antiques, becoming President in 1980.

A lifelong interest in art and design led me through many fiber and craft worlds until 1998 when I was inspired by an episode of Alex Anderson's "Simply Quilts" to make a sampler quilt for my then nine year old son's bed. I bought a few books and, self taught, set upon the task. Soon I discovered local classes at Sewing Arts Center in Santa Monica, quilting seminars through Empty Spools at Asilomar in Pacific Grove and classes at major quilt shows all over California. I have been privileged to study with such internationally recognized teachers as Ruth McDowell, Sharon Schamber, Esterita Austin, Pam Holland and Gloria Loughman and have strived to utilize their varied techniques while developing my own artistic voice.

My quilts have been exhibited at both local and national shows including Road to California, AQS Nashville, IQA Chicago and The Pacific International Quilt Festival.

I live in West Los Angeles with my husband Glen and work in a very small home studio.
