What do you do?

I sew.

Both, my day job and my art. I started to explore quilting in 2003 and haven't stopped since.

Advice/words of wisdom that affected your life you’d like to pass on?

The best encouragement I can offer is to "just start." If there is something you'd like to try, sign up for a class or look it up on YouTube, or ask a friend for pointers. Pick a small project for your first one so that you don't get overwhelmed. Don't expect your first one to look like anyone else's. I made my first quilt out of a box of sentimental, old clothes, on my mom's old sewing machine. I never imagined that I would still be making quilts 15 years later, let alone that quilting would become my primary medium as an artist.
