Welcome to "Outside, Looking In... & Memory Matters"

"Outside, Looking In" is an art quilt exhibit, born in 2023, that was created to increase mental health awareness in our community.

It has since grown to 19(+1) quilts 
& was on display in the art gallery at

Urbandale Public Library

April-June 1st 2024.

It continues to remain on display here.

The idea for this project arose from conversations on creative wellbeing and the art quilt process that I utilize as a hobby & self-care, and teach to others. 

The installation includes personally constructed art quilts (machine-pieced and quilted) along with educational information on mental health diagnoses.  Although it's not all-inclusive, I aim to add value with resources to enhance well-being overall. A few pieces may be up for sale after the show is complete.
