I have at Bachelors in Theatre from Texas Woman's University and an MFA in Scenic Design for Theatre, Television and Film from San Diego State University.  I spent many years as a set designer, scenic artist and also as a mural artist in residential and commercial spaces.  I have been sewing my whole life, and started experimenting with quilting just as a hobby. I quickly became fascinated with the idea that I could take these traditional techniques and, similar to painting, create works of beautiful art. After several years of working with this medium,  I went through the jury process and was accepted into Spanish Village Art Center (SVAC) in San Diego, CA.  SVAC is a wonderful arts village in the heart of Balboa Park, which holds the famous San Diego Zoo, fifteen museums and welcomes millions of visitors each year. I was honored to be a part of the arts village there for almost 5 years before moving back to Texas. I am currently participating in art shows, increasing my online presence and applying for galleries and exhibits. I will soon be one the 13 artists in Carriage House Gallery in Boerne, TX in the beautiful Texas hill country, which has become a new love of mine. I'm also in the process of creating online courses for people interested in learning my techniques and finding their voice through this form of fiber arts.
