Ibegan making bed quilts in the late 80s. I made hand-pieced and hand-quilted bed quilts. I soon changed to Art Quilts. Using original drawings for my designs, I pieced a variety of quilts over the next few years. I transitioned to using Photoshop to create my designs. I continue to use photo-generated designs for most of my quilts. Currently I am experimenting with superimposing decorations or figures on a striped background.

In my childhood I had created many fantasies. Playing dress-up with my friends and having various adventures in my backyard. It was a great beginning for later creative endeavors as an adult. The Magical Child was the first archetype I identified as one of my own.

My Magical Child is dressed up as a princess, amazed at the reality she has created. Tomorrow she can be another character in a different time and place. There is endless variety in her life.
