STATEMENT

My career as a clinical social worker, specializing in helping families, has shaped my artistic expression.  I am preoccupied with notions of connectedness and human communication.  My hope is that my work invites the viewer to look at the  "other" and re-visit notions of same and different.  I have been fortunate to have had many experiences of travel in other countries and this has facilitated an exploration of our common spirit in my work.

Much of my fibre work is based on photographs that I have taken while traveling.  I am driven by that rare moment of contact, the pure experience of living in the moment and making a meaningful connection with another.

I prefer to work with fabric, usually cotton and silk, that I have printed, dyed, painted and stitched.  Although I have explored working with metals and clay, my preference is fibre since it is the "hand" of the cloth that I enjoy.
