Artist Statement

I am an artist working in fiber. I use images from nature, dreams and the human figure in a semi-abstracted manner. I silkscreen, dye and paint cloth and paper. After altering the surface of the fiber I decide if the image is a whole cloth quilt or needs to be cut-up and re-assembled. Once the pictorial surface is complete I layer backing and batting to make three layers. I move to hand and machine stitching adding line, texture and shading with thread. Using these processes to create an original work of art provides me with an outlet that engages all my senses and calms my restless soul.
