Breathe: Inhale. Exhale 2026, free-motion quilted textile, 39”x75”

This quilt diptych is a meditation on breath: the simple, essential rhythm of taking in and letting go. Inhale and Exhale are separate quilts, yet together they form one work, much as each breath depends on both parts of its cycle. The circular, mandala-inspired forms echo the cycles and rhythms inherent in life. Through this work, I continue to explore the intersection of traditional quilting and contemporary design, combining familiar blocks and time-honored processes with a distinctly modern sensibility.
