​Deb began quilting 25 years ago and although she loves to create beautiful quilts, her love of art moved her into art quilting, leading to her launch of DJ’s Fiber Arts. She is an award-winning fiber and multi-media artist, creating fiber art quilts, painting her own fabric, embellishing quilts with different fibers and media such as silk, wool, paints, beads and more. Today, Deb is a full-time fiber artist who enjoys sharing her knowledge through the unique and exciting classes she offers, introducing students to the amazing world of art quilts. Her motto is – “NO RULES, JUST ART”
