After studying fashion design and spending a short time in the industry\, I took a detour and worked as a bookkeeper for 15 years. Later\, I married\, moved to the suburbs\, and raised two children as a stay-at-home mom. Eventually\, I found my way back to sewing and discovered art quilting. Before long that creative spark grew into a passion which led to teaching. Since then\, I’ve won about 50 awards\, including a Judge’s Choice\, a sewing machine\, and cash prizes. My work has been published twice\, and in November 2025\, I had a one-woman show at the prestigious Dwight Englewood School. Today\, I work and teach at The Quilt Tree in Nyack\, New York\, one of the few remaining quilt shops in the region.
