My work is related to nature and landscapes through color, pattern, and design. I often use fabrics that I hand-dye and surface-design with tools and techniques such as thermofax screens, silkscreens, monoprinting, and discharge. Images of the places I have visited, and the impressions and traces of people, geology, and nature find their way into many of my quilts. I use various digital techniques to interpret my photographs into visual memories of my experiences.
