Nature Inspired
From eucalyptus, fig, ginkgo, hydrangea, hellebore, persimmon, sumac to my first Bichon Frise Mendelssohn, to Peaches, my peach-faced lovebird, nature inspires. I have used botanical printing and dyeing, bobbin stitching, sun printing, cyanotype printing, photographic printing, free-motion and hand embroidery, beading and quilting to create the art quilts here.
My art quilts are available for sale unless otherwise noted. Please contact me with your questions.
