“Fiber art has sustained my creative impulses since 1975. It is a fluid and expanding art form. I enjoy pushing the boundaries to see ‘what if’.”

I am a mixed media/fiber artist. I create the entire structure of my art pieces. These works can include painting, dying, stamping, screen-printing, mono printing, and other means of surface design. My latest work contains digital printing. This involves using my own photographs, digitally manipulated in an artistic manner and printed on a variety of prepared substrates.

When I work, I encourage a collaborative process with spirit or my higher self, that mind-boggling principle of the universe. This process can also be called ‘flow’. When you are in this state of mind, the intuitive is tapped and the work can become more than the sum of it’s parts. I work out insights, inspirations, feelings and reactions to the outer world. Allowing time for these inspirations to percolate up from my unconscious is a vital part of my process. The nature of my work permits the viewer to see different images within the very same piece, drawing the viewer in. I achieve this with illusionary surface design digital collage or actual physical layering to produce one image.

Each work is unique and created individually.
