My transformation from thinking of myself as “artistic” to thinking I might be an “artist” started with quilts.
I love quilts. Yet I never had any desire to sew a quilt. Never. Fast forward to 2016 when I visited a quilt exhibit in Austin, TX, where I now live. I wondered, “Can I duplicate this beauty in paper instead of fabric?” Quest on!

There were many early failures. Then a dear friend introduced me to alcohol inks. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I still think of my artwork, which is primarily paper based, as “quilts.” But Inow call my pieces “mixed-media collages” to avoid confusion
