Growing up among the Pennsylvania Dutch, I was intrigued by Amish quilts. My love of art blossomed as I visited art museums around the globe. After raising my family, I started focusing my time on my interest in textiles and art. Having taken a quilt making class, I was immediately captivated. I was able to take my love for textiles, color, and design and use them in a practical and productive way. During the ensuing years, living both stateside and abroad, I continued to develop my skills and techniques, and broaden my artistic vision. Over the years I’ve made bed and wall quilts for friends, family, and cancer patients. I have exhibited in shows from England to Oregon, receiving ribbons such as Teachers Choice, Viewers Choice, Judges Choice and Best in Show. I was the featured quilter at the 2013 Crook County Quilt show in Prineville, OR. Recently, I started making more abstract art quilts, providing me the opportunity to push the boundaries of quilt making into a world of art.
