This exhibition will, for the first time, be mounted in the Visions Art Museum's own gallery space in San Diego, California.

A full color catalog will be produced for the exhibition. Awards will be given from arts organizations and collectors who appreciate and support contemporary quilt art.

She was, until recently, the Executive Director of the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles in San Jose California. While in San Jose she launched the International TECHstyle Art Biennial.
