I use common things from nature, most of them items I pick up as I walk and hike—bark, twigs, branches, leaves, rocks, grasses, roots, acorns, hickory nuts, pine cones and needles–what many of us would rake away and consider trash or compost. I use these natural items in conjunction with my handmade paper, sometimes within […]

I’ve been creating in one form or another for as long as I can remember. After many years experimenting with paint, typography, and graphic design, I found textiles to be my medium of choice. For over 20 years now, I’ve been cutting apart and piecing fabric together to design and construct quilts. I create two […]

An artist is constantly observing, learning, and trying new things. We have things to say that words alone cannot express. While I am happy to engage the viewer’s intellect, I am trying to touch them on an emotional level. If the viewer misses my intended message but, finds their own story instead I consider it […]

My artistic journey is a constant exploration, a playful dance between imagination and the diverse materials that fuel it. A jumble of wires can become the skeletal framework of an alien spacecraft, while a scrap of fabric transforms into the wings of a mythical creature. I draw inspiration from stories both ancient and modern – […]

I love exploring contrast in my artwork. Whether it is the contrast between abstract and realistic compositions or organic and geometric shapes. I used to find myself separating the steady hum of a sewing machine and the soft quiet strokes of a paint brush, making some art that was abstract, and some that was realistic. […]

“Original fabric design created using a variety of screen and hand printing techniques, sewn, stitched, and embellished, made into one-of-a-kind scarves and wearables, wall pieces, and other items. Small scale cement sculptures.  And I twine little baskets while waiting for cement and fabrics to dry. My work is a play of color, pattern, and texture. […]
