Her enthusiasm and true passion for quilting came when she began designing and creating art and wall quilts three years later. She has a wide range of style, design, construction methods and techniques and has never felt limited to any particular one. The common thread running through all her art quilts is the use of embellishment and dimensional features. Entering her first competition in August of 2004, her quilts continue to appear in juried shows and are recognized both statewide and nationally.
