I´m a writer who some years back started turning textile artist. Being used to weaving words and embroider them over and over, this step turned out to be an easy and very consistent one.
Not surprisingly, there are quite a lot of words to be found in my textile and mixed-media work - machine stitched, hand embroidered, taken from old books...
So, I still tell stories – to myself, in the first place - but I´d be glad if you can hear them, too…
Artist's statement: I aim at creating textile pieces and mixed-media artwork that might have a calming quality, being interesting nevertheless, informative, and inspiring - each of them is one-of-a-kind...

I love the delicacy--the strength of delicacy--in your work, the layering, the use of red, the staining, the hand embroidery--just stunning!
