Artist Statement: Rich color and the tactile, touch-inviting qualities of fabric are two of the main attractions of quilts for me. I am more and more drawn to making quilts that combine materials from other worlds, as in the actual painting on canvas that's sewn into Girl Dreams. The four pieces included in VisualVerse are the first steps I took into mixed media work, and I enjoyed expanding my experience of quiltmaking.
