My judging leans more towards the artistic merits of the work - aka form (the design) and content (what it is about). I also consider technique and have a solid background in the traditions of our medium.

I started quilting in 1980 and won numerous awards in the quilt show circuit in the USA. In the mid 90s I transitioned to art and in 2015 I transitioned from the USA to NZ as my home.
