Moon Time, 2008

Moons, trees and women share seasons and cycles in common. Like the moon, women have a monthly cycle. "Moon Time" is an aboriginal (Ojibway) expression that refers to a woman's menstrual cycle, and the female energy known as "Grandmother Moon" is said to govern a woman's cycle.

Ontario Juried Quilt Show 2005

This quilt is the second in a series that celebrates the curves of women of ample proportions. I consider it a fun, bright and funky quilt, that was inspired in large part by the black and white polka dot beads that I fell in love with and paid more than I should have to own!

Substan-shell Woman, 2003

I stumbled across a greeting card, by Carlos Vega, that featured a picture of Aphrodite sitting on a seashell. It inspired me to sketch a plus-sized woman sitting on a shell instead..

Femmes FAT-ales, 2003

Third Prize winner in the Art Quilt category at the 2004 Common Thread Quilt Show, Ottawa.

In Western society, women are constantly bombarded by a very narrow definition of beauty: thin, tall and usually white. This quilt celebrates women of all shapes, sizes and colours. I hope it inspires women to break out of the box of negative body image.
