Welcome. My artwork, created with mixed textile media, is what you will see. Everything about the process of making art brings me joy and peace. My interest in fibre and art has introduced me to people and places I would not have otherwise known.
I use a variety of materials with techniques learned over a lifetime of sewing, needlework and art making. There have been many teachers, the first being my mother. Drawing and painting instructors have helped me with process, color and composition. My Home economics courses introduced me to the elements of design. Other fibre artists have taught me methods of manipulating fabric and threads. There is much experimentation, trial and error along the way.
My photos and travels inspire me. Sometimes the material is the inspiration. The challenge of designing for a theme focused exhibition or project is fun. Mostly I just play with the materials and ideas enjoying the process of getting to the final product. All my work is original.
