Beverly is a mixed media fiber artist who expresses herself through quilts. She was introduced to quilting by her grandmother and uses this connection in her art practice to explore a new narrative of equal rights and opportunities for all genders.
Her combinations of media act as encoded sigils through which she seeks to process the past and create imagined narratives that have layers of meaning about time, personal and political conflict, and memory, all the while paying homage to those who came before her. These emotional and familial ties transform Beverly’s artworks into more than quilts. The spirit of generations is imbued into every stitch, every swatch of fabric, and the quilts become portals to a long gone (but not forgotten) history that Beverly has so generously chosen to share with us.
