CompassionThis is my newest work called Compassion.

A friend went on a mission trip to Rwanda. Knowing my love for fabric, she brought back this beautiful batik which serves as the centerpiece. I added the borders and quilted it. I call this piece Compassion since she was on a trip with the Christian humanitarian organization called Compassion International.

Welcome to my website. I am an artist who specializes in art quilts of spiritual themes that express my faith.  I am also passionate about making pieces for healing and am involved in a number of projects for hospitals.
