 Inspiration for my quilts comes from Nature. The landscape and colors of the Southwest have deeply influenced me. The New Mexico landscape with its sun-infused earth tones is a constant source of inspiration. Its ancient mountains, vast mesas, and deep blue sky have found their way into my work. Pictured here is the Gila Wilderness in the SW region.

Arizona

I have also spent time in Arizona hiking in the desert. The sagauro cactus stand like sentries beneath the craggy mountains. Pictured here is the Superstition Mt.

North Shore of Lake Superior

The North Shore of Lake Superior in NE Minnesota contains a vastness of space to match that of the West. The area has some of the oldest mountain ranges known on earth, now worn down to bedrock. Click here for more photos.
