Essay:

"Art is a reflection of the artist no matter which medium is used. Creating art with cloth adds a layer of history, texture, and familiarity that other methods can't. The colors and stories of the fabrics resonate with me. I get immense pleasure creating pieces that connect to the rich history of quilting including my own family history."
