E N E R G Y - A T - P L A Y!
I design and create bright, happy contemporary art quilts that make me swoon. I quilt for the pure, deep voluptuous pleasure of making colors play and textures dance -- in my eyes
and under my fingers and through my brain and body. Color
makes me thumpity-thump giddy. Color feeds me. Patterns are song. Lines, too. Shapes. Light. And texture. For me, this is
Holy Stuff. That pulsing sexy beat of love-energy that sings above and below the surface. Color and pattern are the keys to my castle, the gate into my garden. I adore being in my studio playing
with colors, fabrics, pigments, and sensuous patterns-within-patterns. And
if all this were the only reason for being, that would be a-plenty, darlin’! Life is all tantalizing patterns
brimming with energy-at-play. And, if you happen to take pleasure from this-here version of heaven… well, really, does it get any
better?
Would you like me to make a custom quilt for you?
