Getting Out and Getting Inspired
No matter where I travel, I find inspiration for my work. Whether it’s at a quilt show, an art exhibit, a museum or out in nature.
Collecting Art

IMAGINE MUSEUM – Inspiration at its finest!
This article is a glimpse of how I am inspired to make textile art from museum visits. I want to share this particular museum and exhibits because the memory has stayed with me over the years and the art continues to inspire me. I hope they inspire you too.
Transitioning from traditional patchwork to fiberart

Is it Worthy?
It took me a lifetime to allow myself the “luxury” of making art purely for pleasure, rather than feeling like everything I do has to have “worth.” What is “worth” anyway? As defined by The American Heritage Dictionary, it is “the quality that renders something desirable, useful or valuable” and “material or market value.”
