Although I've been sewing since the age of four, I only started quilting in 1998. It took me a whole year to complete the first one. For the story of how I began in this new medium, visit my Nana Sue's Garden page. This month, I've started "A Quilted Painting A Day" which you can see on my blog at clvquilts.blogspot.com When I'm not making art quilts, I'm writing about them or the artists who create them. My latest article is in the Art Calendar magazine September 2006 issue. After being a computer consultant for 15 years, I now create Quilted Paintings and Computer Collages. Since I started exhibiting the quilts in 2000, they've been to more than half the States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, England, Ireland, Costa Rica, New Zealand, France, Ecuador, Chile, Mexico, Lebanon, Venezuela, Australia, South Africa, and Oman.

General Artist Statement:

When I'm not working on landscape and seascape commissions for my clients, my own artwork is a study about technology's impact on our lives. With titles such as "Fried Circuits", "System Overload", "Keyboard Lockup", "Motherboard Meltdown", "Cyber Chick", "Techno Jam", "Mixed Media"and "Terminal Eyestrain" the Computer Collages have struck a responsive chord with many viewers. They bring out feelings of how microchips have infiltrated and complicated our daily routines. All these automated gadgets were supposed to make our lives simpler; but the benefits come hand-in-hand with new sources of stress.
