Creator of unique, hand stitched, textile art.

Touchable Textile Art: When was the last time you wanted to touch a painting or photograph? Did you have an urge to run your hand over the artwork and feel the texture? With textile artwork, much like sculpture and woodcarvings, this is one of the first reactions clients have to my artwork. They want to feel the texture of the hand stitching, feel the fabric, get closer to the piece. Viewers are naturally drawn into textile art and it is a great addition to any art collection.

My web site is a continual work in progress. It is updated at least weekly with new exhibition information, new artwork, etc. I am making every effort to present a large sampling of my commissions, art quilts, and home decor textile pieces. Some work is not included by request of clients who want their work seen only as they have it displayed in their home, office, or gallery.

My studio is focused on creating textile artworks in the art quilt genre. Each piece is designed by me, constructed, hand quilted, and bound by me. I do not hire out these aspects of my work. My hand is what makes them truly unique from other textile artworks. 
 
There are three new series that are unfolding in the Works in Progress section. Please check back often as changes will be occurring frequently. As new web site pages are completed, they will be available for viewing right away.

The above piece, Butterflies in the Dark completed in 2008, is currently on exhibition at the Amery Medical Center in Amery, Wisconsin. It will be there through June or July of 2009. My work has been rotating through the Medical Center since September of 2008. Every three months the juror selects new art work from a wide range of artists including painters, sculptors, potters and fiber artists.
