2. If someone looked beneath the surface, what could be revealed that we might not know about you? I’m actually an introvert who suffered horrible panic attacks in my early 20’s because of shyness, but after confronting my paralyzing fears of large groups and crowds, I gained confidence and learned how to enjoy being more of an extrovert. 

3. What occupies the space between your sewing machine and your cutting table? my sewing machines sits in the corner of my 4' x 8’ work table that's also my cutting table, so it's covered with an ever changing variety of supplies and projects.

4. What is the most exquisite moment in your artistic life? showing my clay dragon to Liberace when I was 16, LOL! Seriously, I don’t know, that’s a tough one to answer since there's been many exquisite moments, but I really did show my dragon to Liberace when he stayed at the small bed and breakfast I was working at in Bodega Bay in high school.

5. Do you have daily rituals in your studio? no

6. Reflecting on the quilts that you have made, which one stands out to you? Right now Polychromatic Predilection from last years exhibit.

8. What kinds of patterns do you use in your work to create interest and texture? I love creating patten with stamps that I make.

9. What personal iconography is identifiable to you exclusively in your work? graphic painted imagery

10. What was your inspiration for the Best of Dinner at Eight? A small painting (on canvas) of a squid that I painted earlier in the year based on an old scientific diagram.
