“My goal is to bring awareness to the beauty of our natural environment through art. A lot of my textile art reflects imagery of landscapes from gardens to the sea and the creatures that live there. Inspired by nature’s beauty I am compelled to create and cap-ture it’s extraordinary color, texture and charm. My work is highly textured and invokes the essence of the ever changing landscapes of our natural world.”
“Using textile paints on cloth I create colorful textured and patterned fabrics to use as my palette for composing my wall pieces. My process of cutting, piecing and stitching adds depth and dimension. As I explore the medium of textile painting I am often dis-covering the balance between abstraction and representation.” “My textile art quilts are interpretations of real places and I hope to capture the attention of the viewer by creating a feeling or familiar place to connect with.”
