Artist's Statement

At age 50, I discovered my right brain, and began to experiment with fabric, fibre, floss, paint and dye.  At first it was grief therapy; I entered "the Zone" to escape the challenges of my husband's illness, which was taking its toll on our entire family.  

Now, the practice of textile art has become pure joy: loose and spontaneous design married to skilled stitchery and embellishment.  I use my art to interpret in textiles the world around me, inspired by my rural hamlet, where every street ends in trees.  

I love the look and feel of layers: fabric weaving, rough-edged applique, free-form machine and/or hand-stitching, including beads, buttons and ribbon where the Muse warrants.  I find myself called to be playful as well as reflective in my choice of subject matter and its interpretation.

My invitation to you?  Enjoy!
