Medium: Quilting

Fabric. My “AppliQuilt Art” utilizes colorful cotton batik fabric, designed using a mix of collage, appliqué, and quilting techniques, detailed and shaded with fabric markers, pencils, and paint, and finished off with metallic ribbon, beads, and sequins.

I’m inspired by nature and the wildlife that lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina, where I reside. I love bringing animals to life in fabric, and balancing a sense of realism with the abstract and a touch of whimsy. I had a lot of fun playing with color and pattern on this piece, and the result is what inspired the name, “Aurora Bearealis.” Because he looked majestic and powerful, I chose to frame him in fabric, which is not something I typically do.
