About
As a Nashville-based mixed media fiber artist specializing in quilts, I draw profound inspiration from my Southern heritage and my lineage as the great-great-great-granddaughter of Frederick Douglass, the renowned abolitionist and author. My art proudly incorporates quilt blocks and techniques passed down by enslaved women, a homage to my roots and a testament to resilience and heritage.
Through my career in fashion, I discovered quilting as my true passion. Challenging traditional conventions of textile work, I create quilts for the joy of the creator, drawing inspiration from architecture, nature, and Southern heritage to infuse my work with a unique blend of influences.
