ACE (Accumulated Creative Energy)
34” x 39” - $1200
This piece is a cyclone of creative energy. This personal expression is unsettled by design, much like the idea of commotion. My colourful and unbalanced art shows a swirl of frightening chaotic movement. Like the events of 2020, the marks go in circles with no ending. The colour calms the chaos and is my energy that powers through and signifies my determination to overcome the nonsense.
CURIOSITY & OPTIMISM
12” x 12” - 2018
My intention was to make each letter of the word a curiosity in itself. I put fabrics with different textures and odd fabrics together to see what would happen. I want you to spend time with this piece to figure it out and expose its mysteries. I thought about how fibre art begs to be touched while paintings say “don’t touch”. I wanted this to be a fun textural combination of fabrics.
SKY PILOT
20” x 20” - 2015
Private Collection - Calgary, AB
This design was developed as a result of my exploration of tessellations. In this art piece I challenged myself to communicate organic forms in a graphic way, incorporating cotton fabrics and a non-traditional polyester fabric. I wanted to draw in the viewer and communicate a grand sense of perspective by emphasizing
value and colour in the design.

Award of Merit for strong visual graphics
at the 2015 Grand National Quilt Show in Kitchener Ontario
This art quilt represents my love letter from Alberta to Saskatchewan. It was inspired by my summer road trips from Calgary to Emma Lake and Muenster. I enjoy the beauty and spirit of these Canadian provinces. The land is similar - from forests to farmland, fields of crops to vast prairie landscapes. We are also linked by highways, rural roads and our natural resources. I feel connected to Saskatchewan and my new friends that live there - we're not that different you and I.
