Artist's Statement: I am so grateful for Jeff Brown and the Zimstone Gallery for this debut of my visual arts work and the launch of legacyquiltsandart.com!

The process of creating quilts, and creating collages with fabric and mixed media, immediately immerses me in a world of color, pattern and texture. My mother taught me to sew when I was a child and some of my earliest works of visual art I created as an undergraduate in college, (before turning my attention to writing, including arts criticism), included photography and combining fabric with mixed media. Creating a memory quilt in 2008 for my son Mazi's 16th birthday allowed me to reconnect to this love and expand my vision to fabric works on stretcher board. The connection of colors, patterns and textures creates its own narrative or expresses existing stories, myths or legends. Come out and see!
