I think I have been creative since the womb, but my earliest memory was using my mother’s eye shadow to draw a vase of flowers. That was only the beginning….. From photographs, life experiences, quotes and other artists—inspiration can pop up at any moment. Fiber art allows me to combine all the media I love in a creative, yet experimental way. Thank you for joining me on my journey as I explore all the facets that this fiber art medium has to offer!

Trying Something New
As an artist, I feel like I should continually be improving and honing in on my craft. I know if I had to pick only one medium to use it would be fibers, but I still consider myself a mixed-media artist. After all, a considerable amount of my quilts start off as paintings on cotton. So, I decided to venture into using watercolors and Prisma for an artwork for a friend and to honor a couple of our school district board members. I like the way they turned out, but I would definitely put more effort into the colored pencil accents and values next time. I wonder how this would be if I printed it onto fabric and quilted it?!?
