Growing up on a farm, I have a firm sense of the importance of place and being. I am constantly inspired by the landscapes of western Massachusetts where I live and the memories of the farm I grew up on. The creation of a perceived color and the wide variety of colors that are incorporated within this color creates the feeling. I use simple blocks in a variety of patterns to create a story. The intensity of the labor required to make these quilts, the repetition of the blocks and the wide variety of fabrics required to achieve these color incorporate the memories of process and the importance of the human effort.
