There is a through-line to the art work that I am currently focused on that threads back to a lifetime of textile crafts. Knitting, felting, sewing, quilting, and pattern making are the foundations from which my work has evolved.
My pieces are improvisations, building as I go. With color as the main driver for my art, it is not uncommon that an art piece begins as simply as placing two bits of fabric together, reacting to the combination, and continuing from there. More often than not, I am not conscious of what the outcome will be; I’m more intrigued by the process that gets me there.
There is such pleasure in creating combinations of colors that might seem challenged together or unusual, yet, in the end, really pop and contribute to a piece that is joyful and engaging.
