I love fiber in all its forms. I began as a traditional quilter and then progressed to art quilts where I used the quilt “sandwich” as a platform to create images from a variety of materials including paper, beads, threads, found objects, and all types of fabric. At the same time, I resurrected my crochet skills to make weird sculptures and dolls. One goal in all of this is to express my odd sense of humor; the other, to celebrate the creatures abhorred by humans. In this regard, the haiku of Issa is a great inspiration.
