I work very diligently to reflect my great African heritage as well as the

ups and downs of our American experience in my unique picture quilts.

I never planned to be an artist. I simply loved participating in any

procedure where I used my hands. I found my interest leaning towards

fabrics and the way textiles spoke to me in a musical voice. The colors,

designs and textures of fabrics move in and out with a special rhythm.

 

I strive to capture that musical movement with every piece I create.

I reflect that movement in my quilts and outwardly in my own voice

through my quilt stories. I love to create traditional quilt patterns as

well as contemporary and art designs. I love experimenting with many

different techniques in an attempt to expand my skill level.
