Essay:
"This piece fits the definition of a quilt, three layers; top, batting and a back, yet it does NOT fit into the idea of how a traditional quilt should be. I chose it because of its simplicity. I was inspired by the desert lands of New Mexico. My desire is for art quilts to be recognized as fine art, as highly as a 'painting' on canvas."
