This quilt commission was initiated on June 29, 2009 and completed on May 14, 2012. It is based on the Wyoming Valley block from the 1930s. The client requested pink and green fabrics as they were very reminiscent of spring. The rest was up to me as the designer. It may seem like this was an extremely long process but interspersed with this project of two large wall pieces were also several pieces for exhibitions as well. This piece required 924 hours to complete over the almost three year period, which would have worked out to about six months of time working 40 hours a week exclusively on this piece. Commission Budget: $28,500

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.
