I grew up in Hill City and have spent most of my life in the Black Hills. I am married to a wonderful man named Doug, and together we have three children who bring me immense pride and joy. I also have eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and several grand-pups!

As an artist, I have worked with various mediums over the years, including ceramics, wood, and glass. I began quilting in the late 1990s and started longarm quilting in 2002. The rest, as they say, is history! In my quilting art, I love piecing quilts for family, friends, and customers, but my true passion lies in longarm quilting. I enjoy both free-motion and computerized quilting, and I am currently focused on improving my skills in the computerized aspect.

Additionally, I enjoy repurposing materials, recycling old glass and wood, and transforming other found items into art pieces. I’m always eager to learn new techniques and explore ways to expand my artistic endeavors. computerized skills.
