My quilts are made with fabrics which I dye myself. I use fiber reactive dyes to achieve effects that I couldn't obtain otherwise and create a spontaneity and freshness that purchased fabrics don't provide.
Although the inspiration for my work comes from places I've seen and stored away in my memory, I try to capture not a specific scene, but an atmosphere, a mood or a moment.
For me, the tactile qualities of the fabric, the light and shadow created by seams and raw edges and the interplay of color provide endless opportunities for exploration.
