Founder of Operation Kid Comfort, the nationally recognized and award winning program that provides free photo-transfer quilts to America's Littlest Heroes, the children of U.S. deployed service men and women.
Fiber artist, exhibits curator, and workshop instructoor of Cultural Cloth: Exploringn and Expressing Our Cultural Histories.
Sharing the many stories of Operation Kid Comfort has been a dream since I founded the program in 2003. More than 7,000 children have benefited from the program that has been recognized by Congress and President Obama. www.operationkidcomfort.blogspot.com.
Additionally, participants of my workshop Cultural Cloth: Exploring and Expressing Our Cultural Histories share how they came to be American through art and word. A timely project, Cultural Cloth could be a tool for all of the U.S. to appreciate what it means to be American.
