About The Artwork
This medallion art quilt has been a work in progress since 1998. It is an interesting way to view usually complicated quilt blocks and play with color and layout within each block to achieve amazing variety in designs. The block used in this quilt, Wyoming Valley, is from the 1930’s Chicago Tribune column, Nancy Cabot, written by Loretta Leitner Rising. The Nancy Cabot column was published from 1932-1939. The entire quilt is made from one block with each block individually designed to create the overall design. The quilt is set on point with setting triangles to make the quilt square. The block has 65 individual pieces consisting of squares and triangles. A total of 2,665 pieces are in the main body of the quilt. Placement of the 6 different colors affected the change in the design of each block. The focus fabric of this quilt is the Angel Tapestry fabric used in the center of each block. The blue paisley, mint green and solid burgundy colors used in the block, are drawn from the colors in the Angel Tapestry fabric and serve to emphasize the design elements. The heirloom hand quilting done over the entire quilt top in a grid design. The binding on this quilt is also hand applied as well as the display sleeve on the back. The backing of the quilt is traditional, unbleached muslin and the quilt is signed and dated by the artist. This artwork has also been made with the intent that it can be displayed on a Great Room wall or used as an artistic headboard in a master suite.

United States
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.
