      <image:caption>"Another Dance with the Dragon" A metaphor for facing difficult situations head on, Another Dance with the Dragon is part of my ongoing journey to explore the tension and fluidity of figure and ground. Black and white stripsets were cut up and formed into floating organical shapes, with a focus on differentiating scale. The black and white elements provide a stark contrast with the overlay of the red “dragon” on an otherwise neutral and flat background. This composition presented another lesson to face my dragon and take it for a spin.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Dancing with the Dragon" A metaphor for facing difficult situations head on, Dancing with the Dragon expresses my journey from resistance to appreciation for strip piecing as a starting point for a new composition. Strip pieced units were first composed into floating organical shapes. Together with the overlay of the red “dragon” and a printed background, the composition explores the tension and fluidity of figure and ground. Learning to dance with the dragon was an important lesson in my personal journey to further explore this concept.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Summer Journey #4" My Summer Journey series explores the interplay and tension between foreground and background, colors and values, and the contrast between them. The design was initially drawn on Procreate and manually scaled up on the design wall and is a reflection of my personal journey as an artist; a journey of exploration and experimentation. The bold black and white accents from the earlier quilts in this series morphed into more subtle blues for #4. The curved elements express adaptability and resilience, and the more subtle contrasts are a reflection of the fluidity of uncertainty and clarity, fear and hope, dark and light that accompany me on my journey.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Clockwork Universe" The abstract design suggests a closer view of a larger universe of elements attached through the black and white connecting poles, and supported by the black lines that echo thin wires, stitched into the background. The varying orientation of the elements creates movement that is suggestive of a clockwork. I started this during a monthlong workshop with Irene Roderick. It measures 45” x 65”.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Quilt Gallery - "Perseverance" (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Perseverance" The complex and improvisational curved piecing is an expression that life is never a straight line, and only occasionally black &amp; white, and that the search for your happy place is a journey, not a destination. There have been many homes on my journey, many ladders to climb, stony roads to travel, and difficulties to overcome, but I’ve made it to here, and the journey continues. With much gratitude to Maria Shell for the braided curve technique used here, and Irene Roderick's Choreography workshop.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Follow the Geese" Created for the Windham Artisan Cotton fabric challenge for QuiltCon 2022. The flying geese are central to the composition of classic quilt blocks and improvisational geometric shapes. Some symmetrical components bring order in the otherwise asymmetrical design. Geese travel for thousands of miles every year, never in doubt of the direction they’re taking. For us humans, plenty of distractions can lead us off our path. If we want to follow our dreams we need to be like the geese: know our destination and fly a steady course. It measures 48” x 60”.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Bubbles" (Bubble Up pattern) Bubbles/Bubble Up originated from the 2021 Community Outreach quilt for the NJMQG. I built on my original design with some minor corrections in the layout, and a different palette and color placement. The design is based on the Drunkard’s Path block, using both a traditional and a modern version, each in three different sizes, that form a variety of quarter, half, and full circles, arranged in a modern composition. The title is both a nod to the design elements as well as a reflection of how the word bubbles took on a whole new meaning during the pandemic. It was long arm quilted by Jennifer Strauser, and measures 60” x 84”. I launched Bubble Up as a pattern in April 2022, available in my Etsy store.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Tiles" Tiles was made as a 100-day project in the Fall of 2020 as an exercise in color theory and values. The (public) commitment of making one 6 1/2” block each day kept me motivated to also be creative in other ways and on other projects. The color palette includes 16 colors with values across 5 different hues, and an organically free-hand cut quarter circle is pieced into each tile, making all unique combinations. Color placement of the 100 blocks was a gigantic puzzle to ensure equal distribution of colors and no same colors touching each other. It is quilted in a diagonal grid and measures 60” x 60”.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"On The Fence" Started during a virtual workshop with Maria Shell in Sep 2020, this improvisational quilt was originally planned as a much smaller piece, but after the initial middle section I added corner blocks and connections in between to surround it. I thought I was done, but I had started to make improvisational tracks and experimented with some pinwheels based on Maria’s teachings. These blocks took many weeks to complete as I made them in between other things whenever I felt like just playing and improvising. In the end I incorporated them as a final circumference, arranging them in a rail fence style, and putting the pinwheel block variations in the corners. It measures 66” x 66”.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Ship Ahoy" “Ship Ahoy” is a reinterpretation of the “Merge” pattern by Karen Foster, an MQG Modern Classic from 2018. A fresh approach to the color placement and merging of the different pattern pieces creates the abstract illusion of a dropped anchor, the keel of a boat and fish in the sea. The vertical wavy quilting lines suggest water bubbles rising to the surface. This quilt was juried into QuiltCon 2021 as part of the Modern Classics exhibition.

It came together over many weeks as a form of respite and distraction from the constant news stream, and combines a random set of different graphic elements, tied together by a recurring color palette. The quilt was shown at the Houston Int’l Quilt Festival (online) in Dec 2020, and was juried into QuiltCon 2021. It will be featured in an upcoming book (summer 2021) by Sandra Sider, curator at the Texas Quilt Museum, “Quarantine Quilts: Creativity in the Midst of Chaos”.

      <image:title>Quilt Gallery - "Letting Go" (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Letting Go" I started this quilt at a Maria Shell workshop in October 2019. It reflects my efforts to let go of my innate desire for order and symmetry. I began the quilt with a symmetrical design, but during the following weeks developed a freer and more intuitive approach. In the final composition I balanced the asymmetrical design elements with the symmetrical grid lines of the quilting. “Letting Go” symbolizes my evolving personal growth as a designer. It measures 42” x 46”.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Quilt Gallery - "Extraterrestrial" (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Extraterrestrial" This quilt was accepted to be exhibited at QuiltCon (my first!), in Feb 2020 in Austin, Texas. It is based on a decorative pillow cover I designed for my brother, who as a child was fascinated by astronomy. The design elements are abstract and suggestive, meant to create a mood rather than show specific, recognizable astronomic elements. The contrast in color choices contributes to the feeling of looking out into an unexplored world of planets and galaxies. It measures 40” x 36”.</image:caption>
