I am currently celebrating my 51st year as an artist, in that time I have always been a fiber artist but have also been a writer, illustrator, painter, wearable art maker, costume designer, muralist, and printmaker.
My work is the fusion of traditional needlework (skills given to me by my mother and grandmother) with fine arts, painting, drawing, and printmaking, along with a lot of mixed media.
I work intuitively, each work is made using multi layered processes; exploring what if and experimenting with what might happen if I mix and match whatever medium I’m exploring at the moment. I paint, dye, draw, collage and print into fabric and or paper, which are then quilted, beaded, hand or machine embroidered and embellished with things from “my collections”.
