About the artist and exhibit:

My early quilts recreated the traditional geometric designs familiar to all quilters. At some point, I realized I could connect images from aspects of my life that would add personal meaning to quilts. My interest in literature, my faith, children's art, and other needlework art began to show up in my quilts. Having seven grandchildren eager to see their drawings become fabric art focused my efforts. While I still enjoy the range of geometry and color in traditional quilts, I do prefer designs that connect me emotionally to viewers. This showing, "Geometry and Beyond" presents a full span of my explorations so far.
