Artist Statement:

With an inherited love of fabric, I created a quilting business in 1998. Since then my work has made the transition to the
2-dimensional fabric art that I now create.

My process is similar to painting with a fabric-only palette (no paint is used in my entire process). Each piece of artwork is a layered composition of small fabric segments that are cut individually, arranged and web fused to a background fabric (my canvas).

In the framing process I follow conservation framing standards by using all acid and lignin-free materials and non-glare conservation glass.

I handcraft each solid wood frame – working the wood from rough-cut to the finished product. My artistic preference is a rustic appearance. Any imperfections found on the wood – bark, knots, cracks, etc. – become part of the frame design and make each frame unique.

Life’s natural beauties are the inspiration for my original fabric art, and my hope is that you ENJOY!!
