               DECADE: 1980s

               I started as a fiber artist in high school when I won a contest for a free add in Seventeen
               Magazine with my stuffed animals. When my mother sent me all the wool she had
               stripped for braided rugs I developed a line of quilted wool and denim clothing. Interest
               in my designs had me putting them in pattern form and selling at quilt shows. All the
               wonderful quilts at these shows inspired me to use some of my husband's designs in art
               quilts. In this turbulent world we are currently living in, it is my hope that the viewer will
               find beauty and peace in viewing my quilts, or a joy in creativity if using my patterns or
               books.

               Influenced by my husbands work, O’Keeffe’s New Mexico depicts a pyramid and skull
               rising from the mountains of the American Southwest.
