Fabric Collage Quilt Art

Hand-crafted, original art wall hangings

My fabric collage art quilts walk the line between realistic, and playful, colorful, abstract renditions of my subject matter.

As an animal and nature lover, I enjoy creating fabric portraits of animals, both wild and domestic, as well as pieces inspired by the beauty of the Western North Carolina mountains.

I’m a juried member of Carolina Mountain Artists Guild, and my art quilts are available in the guild’s store at 444 N. Main Street, in downtown Hendersonville, North Carolina. I’m also a member of the Art League of Henderson County and my work is often featured in The Art Place Gallery, located at 730 Locust Street in Hendersonville. 

My art quilts have been featured in the following juried art exhibitions:

  • 2025-2026 Artscape Banner Program, a public art project displayed on the light poles in downtown Hendersonville
  • 2025 Celebrate Art! Five-State Juried Art Show
  • 2025 La Vie en Rose Juried Art Show

If you’re interested in purchasing my art or requesting a commissioned piece, feel free to contact me here.
