In addition to my abstract pieces, I also create figurative artwork and cartoons that are presented as contemporary quilt art. Figurative and cartoon pieces are inspired by reference photos I have personally taken. I craft each piece using fusing, machine applique, and quilting. The three styles – abstract, figurative, and cartoons – have fabrics and themes in common. In all styles, I show relationships, impermanence, gratitude, nature, repetition, and response to the times we live in.

I create contemporary art quilts in a cartoon style. As with my abstract and figurative artwork, these are a response to the times we live in. I explore both silly and serious ideas.
I created this piece just as the pandemic was beginning in the USA. There was a lot of denial going on. The steep curve represents the covid cases in Italy at that time
