Residencies and Exhibits

In 2025, I was one of seven artists-in-residence at Rocky Mountain National Park. As part of this program, I gave a lecture on my animal and landscape portrait quilts, and I led an interactive program where park visitors could create their own no sew fabric postcards. I’m also creating and donating a unique quilt to the park.
