Becoming the Light
A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Fiber Art
Through fabric and thread, I’ve been able to dig deeper into my own story: my values, my heritage, my dreams. Quilting, for me, is more than art — it’s a way of living with intention, of seeing beauty in everyday moments, and honoring the rich tapestry of life around us.
That’s the heart of my book, Becoming the Light. It’s about how art — and the stories we tell through it — can help us find connection, healing, and joy. Featuring 40 striking images of my fiber art, this beautifully designed volume pairs each piece with the story behind its creation—revealing the emotions, inspirations, and cultural roots that shape my art. Let’s keep bringing light into the world, one stitch, one story, one joyful moment at a time.

I can truly and personally identify with the messages in each piece represented in Becoming the Light. My skin color was highlighted most of my life; not fitting in with any group! And, if not for the various sisterhood groups I bonded with, would I have reached my goal: being a productive female in this world. Accepted for who I was, not what I looked or acted like!
