VIEW IN MY ROOM
This is the first completed art quilt in my series, Stained Glass Mosaics. This quilt has 66 different fabrics, none of them repeated, in this compact quilt. The quilt is 21 1/4" x 21 1/4". The center of the quilt has a stained glass affect produced by the bias tape separating each piece of fabric. The textile artwork is hand stitched in a spiral design starting in each of the 4 corners and in the center of the piece. The spirals spill out into the grey "explosion" background. Artwork is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.

I have been constructing textile artworks for over thirty years incorporating dense hand stitching which gives visual and physical texture to my work. I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1963 and have had my studio in Cushing, Wisconsin since 1991. My work includes pieced work using commercial fabrics as well as rust pigmentation and non-traditional dyeing techniques. More recent work has been using whole cloth construction using my hand dyed and painted fabrics and rust pigmentation along with my signature hand stitching. Each piece is unique and starts with an idea from my subconscious and develops as I construct the artwork. Decisions are made regarding materials, technique, size, and sculptural stitching as the piece develops. Nothing is preplanned so the initial idea may not be even close to what the finished artwork reveals. My medium is thread on textiles, much like a painter's medium is "oil on canvas" or "acrylic on hard board". My work can be found in many private art collections around the world. Commission work keeps my schedule full for several years in advance. I exhibit my award winning artwork nationally in juried fine art exhibitions in galleries, museums, and art centers. I am represented by several fine art galleries across the United States. I am the author of several books available worldwide, describing my processes, artistic philosophy, and experiences with artist residencies.
