I studied art at the Maryland Institute in Baltimore, MD and textiles at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. In 2001, I was awarded the Leonard White award by Miriam Schapiro during a juried exhibition at Meredith College.
Artist's Statement: My textile work references childhood years in Kagoshima, Japan where my neighbors dyed threads in indigo and wove them in long swaths for kimono. The colors, patterns and other imagery reflected in my work are an exploration of that experience integrating language and surface design.

“Drive a nail home and clinch it so faithfully that you can wake up in the night and think of your work with satisfaction,- a work at which you would not be ashamed to invoke the Muse”
-Henry David Thoreau
In our case, it would be the needle or other fiber tool. Drive it home! And, we all thank you for your words, left here to these good folks. Invoke your Muse!
