Exhibitions:
(Note: This is my fine art resume. Each listing refers to an art quilt unless otherwise indicated. My professional day job “resume” of website and graphic design is available here, and you can check out my pages under the Website/Graphic Design heading on the navigation bar if you arrived on this page looking for more of what I do in that field. I decided not to separate out my fine art side from my graphic design/technical side on my website, as many of my customers are also artists who appreciate that I know and understand their field.)
