I am an artist who specializes in art quilts of spiritual themes. I am also passionate about making pieces for
healing and using art to make the world a better place.
I have prepared a book about my series of cathedral window quilts WITH the instructions for how to make the block on your machine.
My Commission for The Unversity of Michigan Hospital Chapel
I was honored to be asked to make a 36" x 36" quilt for the newly renovated chapel. I have titled it "First Light". Below are some photos of the chapel.
This is the overall view of the multi-faith chapel. The wall paper served as the inspiration for the color palette.
This shows the niche where the piece will be installed.
These doors are based on the "seed of life". Six overlapping circles. These are similar to the cathedral window.
My annual donation to the SAQA Benefit Auction is called Cairns. It's 12" x 12" and will be up for bid in September 2026.
Cairns are a universal symbol of way finding aids for fellow sojourners along a path in the wilderness. Cairns also remind me to look for balance, peace and calmness even when our days are busy and complicated. My hope is that my cairns serve to connect us as we support each other along our life's journey.
In the past I have made other Cairns for the annual auction.
Here is how they have looked over the years:

Here is a slide show from my solo exhibit at the Virginia Quilt Museum in spring 2023.
I enjoy playing with technology.
Here is a 3D tool for viewing artwork. It's fun to see how these quilts look on the wall.
