About me I quilt because I have an ongoing love affair with fabric. After a failed attempt at a theatre costuming degree, my profession is in the comic book industry. I will always have that love affair with fabric and quilting has given me the opportunity to continue to sew. After beginning with traditional patterns, I now work with original and contemporary designs for my art quilts. I use fusibles, yarns, jewels, and various other media to embellish my work. My quilts are all pieced, appliqued, and quilted by machine. My themes and subjects vary, from simple shapes, abstracts, to realistic interpretations of still lifes and portraits. My work is small, often under 6 inches sqaure, and I have traded baseball-card sized works around the world via the internet since 2006. I am influenced by my other hobbies and interests, including comics books, science fiction, Japanese manga, anime and culture, and cute iconography, such as Hello Kitty and Pucca. Currently, I am working on my weekly series in 2009, as well as several other themed projects. I also hope to sell my works in the near future. I will also continue to trade my work with other talented artists online. Affiliations Past Shows Current Shows
