Strait of Magellan, 36"x36", 2026
This pair of Magellanic Penguins contentedly watch over the Strait of Magellan on Magdalena Island. The strait sparkles and glimmers in the morning light. Glints of white light accompany the ripples of water. The penguins are obviously friends, perhaps even mates, standing as if ready to “hold hands”. Quilt design from original photo by my husband, Jonathan Cohen, taken on Monumento Natural Los Pinguinos in the Patagonia region of Chile.

All of the works depicted here are my original designs, adaptations of traditional quilt blocks, or are original designs based on art works by my mother, Emily Pearce. Enjoy!

I grew up literally swimming with dolphins, water skiing next to alligators, scuba diving with manatee, and on coral reefs with barracuda, body surfing with sting rays, and more. Water and aquatic creatures were part of my existence and feature heavily in my work.

My avocations are quilt artist, trumpet player, and gardener. My profession is Ph.D. Computer Scientist. All of these disparate activities feed on one another and make me who I am and they are all my media.

•My passions include all forms of flora and fauna.
•I am deeply committed to the environment and saving our planet.
•Saving the wonderful wildlife, aquatic life, and plants from terra firma to the oceans are the themes that drive my art.
News includes announcement about shows, web site changes, and completion of new quilts.
