Bojagi Windows, 2024
Silk, cotton, linen 24" x 20"
This art quilt was inspired by a hand-stitch Bojagi class I took from Patti King. I wanted to experiment with the same idea but using a machine instead of hand-stitching.

Tuscan Villa thread painting, 2020
Cotton fabric, cotton batting, cotton threads 16x20"
While hiking through the Tuscan hills we came upon this brightly colored villa set atop a gentle rise. I was so charmed by the scene that I told myself that when I got home to my studio I would make a painting of it. The result is a thread painting. Every detail is stitched by hand.

Napkin drawing – Joshua & Sparkie, 2022
Linen upcycled napkin, cotton hand-dyed threads 16.5x23"
After decades of a design career in Silicon Valley, I've had countless opportunities to create a napkin drawing. While lunching with friends or co-workers as an idea begins to develop, we'd draw it on whatever was at hand -- usually a paper napkin. During the last 5 years I lost 4 close family members. I started this project to help myself deal with the grief. What better place to sketch my happy memories than onto the cloth that witnessed countless dinners, tipsy toasts, birthday and holiday celebrations.

Forbidden Fruit (Rabbit Therapy Series), 2023
linen napkin, indigo-dyed linen, cotton threads, batting 24x24"
Rabbit Art Therapy Series - I have this inner struggle, as a gardener, about how to co-exist with our town’s wild domestic rabbits. This ongoing series depicts the various feelings I have about the rabbits—anger, frustration, admiration, and amazement at their audacity. Because I care deeply about lessening textile waste I use mostly upcycled linens and designer samples in all of my work.
