Villa Park, California
1. What is sitting on the edges of your work table? Paint is dripping off the edge to the paint-splattered floor below.
2.
If someone looked beneath the surface, what could be revealed that we
might not know about you? I am an introvert but I love to come to play!
3.
What occupies the space between your sewing machine and your cutting
table? On any given day the piles shift and change from. Wet paint and
pristine hand-stitching threads share the space.
4.
What is the most exquisite moment in your artistic life? I hung
upside-down from a tree, (because I can no longer do a handstand), to
celebrate my artwork on the cover of Quilting Arts Magazine.
5.
Do you have daily rituals in your studio? My concrete floor is a work
in progress with spatters and drips of paint. I usually finish up my day
with some fresh puddles of paint that will dry overnight.
6.
Reflecting on the quilts that you have made, which one stands out to
you? My newest quilt is usually my favorite…Clan of Misfits.
7.
What do you have an affinity for in your work? Free-motion stitching in
my sketchy style finds it’s way into most of my work. I use my sewing
machine as my favorite drawing tool.
8.
What kinds of patterns do you use in your work to create interest and
texture? Grids and circles are the launching point in a lot of my work,
combined with bold, black free-motion lines and softer hand stitches.
9.
What personal iconography is identifiable to you exclusively in your
work? Recycled tea bags, beginning as tiny, individual substrates, are
collaged with hand-painted fabric and paper, stitched upon, and then are
combined to create a larger composition.
10.
What was your inspiration for the Best of Dinner at Eight? A sense of
belonging in my world of family, friends and artists was the central
theme of my quilt, with each individual component representing parts and
people in my life.
