Born in Beckley, West Virginia, I have lived in Fargo since moving from Las Vegas, NV in 1984. During my first quarter century, I attempted almost every craft – macramé, pottery, stained glass, decopagé and more. In quilting I gained the mastery of the craft and the skills required to express my creativity in both traditional and contemporary styles. While much of my work is traditional appliqué and crazy quilting, I have most recently begun to explore the exciting and complex blending of materials and layers in highly embellished, three-dimensional fiber collage.
