I am a textile artist. I so appreciate the freedom innately present in those two words: freedom of expression, style, technique and materials. I employ any technique or material that a piece requires in order to convey my message. I want the viewer to feel my message through my use of colour and texture, line and shape and form.
Many of my works are inspired by nature and the world that surrounds us. I want my audience to feel the joy and peace I feel when I see a beautiful sunset or a golden autumn leaf. To convey these messages I employ a wide variety of styles and techniques and now dye and print many of the textiles I use. While my style has been described as experimentally eclectic I do work in series which allows me to explore a topic or technique in depth and use every approach applicable to the topic. True to my personality, I am always looking around the corner for the next challenge and the next inspiration which will propel me further along in my artistic journey.
