Artist Statement:
Perspectives and relationships remain an important theme of my work. Each piece is an arrangement of parts that is aesthetically interesting, as well as being a metaphor for some activity or part of our world that we can all relate to. My work is a fresh look at something familiar. Narrative pieces sometimes contain elements of mystery, allowing the viewer to fill in the story line. The process of building image from fabrics, paint, oil pastel, embroidery floss and thread, creates multiple layers of visual interest and meaning.
Studio Tours available by appointment.
