I have found a place, creating quilts and quilt patterns that allows me to express my full range of creativity. Africa is the cradle of civilization, where God first bestowed the blessing of life upon man. He surrounded him with abundance, the abundance that is Africa herself. The many African fabrics represent the multiplicity of life in Africa. They are joined in a pattern that ties them together like the life giving flora and fauna of the Motherland. –Artist statement
