About the artist
Artist Statement
"...It is my wish that the viewer be drawn into my work, puzzle over it
and be amazed by what they see...and come back for a second look." I usually have
a task, something “new” I want to try. I use many different construction techniques,
traditional and contemporary. So my works are often very different from each other.
Each piece is a step in my growth as an artist, some thing I had to try, a process
to learn from, never an end. Creating is something I have to do. It comes from an
experience, a relationship, a dream and imagination.
Art Work Process
My artwork crosses a number of styles including graphic, representational,
abstract, and expressionism. I hand dye much of the fabric myself using Shibori
dyeing, discharge and over dyeing techniques. Most of the piecing and embroidery
is done on a sewing machine although some hand sewing work is involved. I consider
the quilting stitch a chance to add an additional layer of line and meaning.
About the Artist
I was born and raised in Colorado, and currently reside in Mead, Colorado
with my husband and two children.
