I began as a painter and sculptor. I began to understand fiber as an art medium when I was twenty. I then traveled the world to study with artisans and learn techniques. Shibori presented a long and rewarding path, which I have been on for ten years now. That time was spent building a business, developing my skill and teaching fine art.
My new work draws modern lines around the body. Each piece is illuminated from within. Using fabric, I can paint a landscape that moves and wraps around the body; ripples, waves, peaks, valleys. Texture and pattern are elemental aspects of the work and come from my connection to the water. The movement of the surface of water is alive and indescribable. I aim to achieve the same in my textile work.
