I create art quilts, and landscape art is my forte. Every aspect of the natural world enchants me. I strive to convey the essence of our environment by combining the nobility of a fine painting with the boundless intrigue of fiber art. Whether viewed through a microscope or from a satellite, planet Earth provides an infinite array of colors, shapes and textures. Beauty abounds in its landforms and life forms.
I aim to capture the wonder of our world in fabric and thread. Starting most often with shots from my camera, I try to distill what captivates me about a place. It may be the light, the texture, the mystery, the splendor. A scene may encapsulate time and the endless cycle of life, or play vibrant color against somber shades. Whatever the intrigue, I try to translate it into fiber.
