How I got from Puerto Rico to award-winning modern quilt artist? In this lecture I give an overview of my life. How I got to where I am now and what's coming up in my art life. I'll show many of my quilts and the most important events in my art career.

I have been making architecture quilts for over 15 years and exhibited them nationally. This lecture goes over my architectural quilts and how I make them. I'll show you my process in detail with many behind the scenes photos. I design and construct my quilts using foundation paper piecing and there my be a few tricks you can use in your own quilts.

Working on a new series. I’ll show my artist process from initial idea, design and finally the construction of the final quilts. Never a straight-forward process. Many techniques are used in the construction are used from piecing, applique and embellishments to make my vision come to life. In the process lessons were learned that can help any artist or quilter. Warning: some political themes are discussed.

After many years of wondering between different styles, techniques and subjects. I finally found a way to focus and develop my artistic voice. Hear about why working in a series is beneficial and how to get there.
