“I like capturing the moment with bold, saturated colors. Sparkle, color, and movement with beads, mirrors, ribbons, and threads enhance my designs. I thrive on using multiple fabrics, yarns, cords, free-motion stitching, embroidery, thread painting, appliqué, beading, collage, dyeing, painting, needle felting, stamping, and other surface design techniques. Watching my fractal-inspired designs explode into the infinite universe and implode to microscopic size satisfies my creative impulses. Nature’s dance of life inspires my art as I manipulate fabrics and embellish them. My designs encircle, spiral, branch, and wander as they simulate the universe. I love to experiment with fabric and paint to create abstract and landscape art.
"It’s never too late to explore and begin new adventures of the imagination.”
