Artist bio I am a fiber artist from northeast Indiana making mostly art quilts. I hand-dye fabric and work intuitively and improvisationally with the pieces I create. I am inspired by light, color, and shapes found in natural and man-made objects. The quilting in the art quilt adds a sculptural layer and dimension to the piece. I generally work in series. The artwork shown here is one of 20 pieces from my Circles Series. I have exhibited in the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, the Elkhart Midwest Museum of American Art, the Garrett Museum of Art, The Art of Contemporary Crafts: Glass, Clay, Wood, Metal, Fiber Exhibition at the University of St. Francis, Artlink Gallery (Fort Wayne), Artists in Transition II – Northeast Indiana Fiberartists, Allen County Public Library. My husband, Don, and I live in Auburn, Indiana and we have a daughter, three sons, a daughter-in-law and one grandson. I am the director of the Butler Public Library in Butler, Indiana.

About the work
Title: Circles 4-10
Art form: 2-D
Medium: Fiber
Year created: 2010
Description of work: This art quilt is number 10 in my 4 Circles Series. When designing and creating this piece, I chose the dark & light colors of night to contrast with the bright illumination of red. The cross hairs of the black & white fabrics help give our journey direction. The artist-dyed fabrics are cotton and the quilted grid lines add to the structure and build a map of the journey the circles are taking.
