My current fiber artwork shows my passion for combining textures, patterns, color and mixed media elements, both man-made and natural. My collages, art quilts, soft sculptures, and canvases layer dyed and painted fabrics and papers to create rich surface designs that can be abstract, figurative, or inspired by the environment. I work intuitively, manipulating many elements, often reflective of my background in painting and graphic design.
