Working with my hands is vital and nourishes my artistic soul.
Concepts develop from deep within my mind and are translated through cloth. Colorful handmade textile art is what I am known for. I love discovery and prefer to work spontaneously; I never know what might spark a creative train of thought. The results are fun and joyful. Comments on my work mostly pertain to the colors and combinations I use.
I have two individual art focuses:
1-Contemporary designs-which include painted surfaces machine stitched and often include mixed media such as painted paper
2-Conservative designs developed primarily with hand stitching. The look can range from contemporary to somewhat retro.
My goals are to produce the best art I can. Most of what I create is available to purchase; however, this is not my primary focus. I prefer to focus on the content and the end result; holding myself to a very high standard, personal levels that I have set. The challenges I set for myself fuel my energies for juried exhibits which are important to me. Over the last ten years my work has been accepted into numerous National and International exhibits; I am very proud of this.
An art collector will respect the levels of accomplishment that I strive for. Anyone who loves color and dynamic designs will appreciate having my art hanging in their home or office. Attractive, high energy, striking colors describe my work.
