2026

I have moved my textile practice from clothing the body to decorating the wall.

My design space is a large 9’x20′ blank wall I can stick fabric shapes up on as I work. It is a canvas for my improvisational ” art quilts”.

The process is intuitive. Layering colors, shapes and stitching marks, I consider the pieces collage with fabrics.

I am also learning structural techniques as I progress with this new phase of work. I’m never quite sure where I will start or end, but eventually a compostion makes me happy.

If you are interested in any of my pieces, ask and I’ll let you know sizes and pricing. Most are wall sized.

1993-2025

I have been sewing since I was a young girl. My mother is an artist and seamstress, and she always had a closet of fabrics and a project in the works.
We made many trips to the local mill “outlet stores” (when they were actually attached to working mills) and dug through tables of remnants
to find just the perfect piece of fabric for the current project or one to be thought of later.

I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in textile design, but spent most of my time there turning my woven or printed fabrics into clothing.
My early years in the real world were working in small studios for other designers and in retail shops both large and small.
I started Red Rover Clothing  in 1993 when my children were just starting school.  I have shown and sold my work across the USA at many galleries and juried art fairs.
3 decades later, I am working on more limited edition pieces.
My line is less about production and more about small batch pieces.
I am designing simple, comfortable shapes utilizing miscellaneous cuts of fabrics.

My designs are influenced in part from watching what people wear and what makes them feel comfortable and special.
I am fortunate to be able to do what I love.
