I make quilts!
Northern Arizona’s beauty constantly inspires me. The colors here are so bright and vivid. I believe that color has energy of its own, and it commands me to capture that vitality and savor it. The challenge is in recreating nature’s power in my dye studio. My current palette tries to reveal where the “earth meets the sky”.
I’ve had a long-lasting fascination with man’s impact on our natural world. Living in the West I have seen many changes take place. We impose organization onto the landscape in measurable sections of fences, roads and dams and walls. A mixture of plains, mountains and buildings placed into a range of grids. These grids cannot totally erase the topographical lines the earth made.
I love the mixture of man’s lines and earth’s lines. This juxtaposition creates a fusion that has evolved into its own form of beauty.
