I have been making fibre art pieces during this middle stage of my life, finally finding my artistic passion. I love coordinating colours, and feeling the texture of fabrics.
Although I was born in London, Ontario, I have lived in Alberta on and off for 30 years and consider it my home province. I am attracted to the Alberta landscape, the abstraction of objects to the textile medium and really enjoy the process of working with my hands. I seek variety in my work use whatever technique best represents what I want to portray .
In the past, I have tried through my art pieces to make visible what is not normally seen and to make what is visible meaningful. I am committed to the idea that fibre and textile work has an appeal as art and is transcending the art/craft barrier.
