Current Assignment in the College of Education and Human Sciences:
Department Chair; Ardis James Professor of Textiles, Clothing & Design; teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Textiles, Clothing and Design.
To further ongoing work in the area of non-traditional quiltmaking (specifically, digitally-developed quilt fabrics and their re-constructions).
Philosophy Statement: My work in the classroom and in the studio is driven by a quest to answer questions like 'What if?' and 'Why not?' Creativity in any domain is propelled by curiosity and a willingness to take risks and to challenge conventions. The saying "You can't discover new lands until you lose sight of the shore" fits my outlook and motivations both as an artist/designer and as an educator.
