Spring's First Breath

Sometimes a single piece of fabric inspires an entire piece. Sometimes the fabric exists first in my imagination and I have to create it. Most often, the work evolves. I join two colors, then add a texture, paint or dye new fabric to fit in or contrast. Finally, I quilt the piece to finish the thought, adding another layer of design. Quilting is the craft, but the object is art. Modern. Contemporary. Paradoxically simple and complicated at the same time.
