About Dre

Using repurposed, vintage, and rescued textiles, I create works that challenge the traditional notion of quilting and invite viewers to interpret meaning based on their own emotional response to the works.​

In my artistic journey I aim to shift the meaning and perception of what a quilt can be. Within each work, I try to create luscious, soft, and sumptuous moments that provoke emotional responses and allow for individual interpretation. Each work carries personal significance for me, and is a way to navigate my emotions. I aspire to offer viewers a similar comforting and introspective experience. The softness and tactile nature of textiles, inherently associated with comfort, become a metaphorical embrace, inviting the viewer into a gentle and contemplative space.

I aim to create art that could be achieved through other mediums but is intentionally conveyed through the transformative and comforting nature of textiles.
