"When talking about my work, I usually call myself a craftsperson using the medium of the quilt to create high-end, functional and/or decorative items.
It is imperative to please myself by making the very best technical and artistic statement possible no matter the material, be it hand-dyed cotton, recycled wool, or silk. The techniques that I use must allow me to achieve this goal.
I hope to seriously engage each viewer so that she or he experiences my work to the fullest. I also hope to inspire my viewers to create work that is gratifying to them."
