“My artwork reflects a passion to shape order out of chaos—to start with bits of threads and fabrics and make something complex and satisfying where nothing existed before. As I create, I embrace and celebrate the ancient heritage and language of cloth and the material cultures that textiles inherently express. My inspiration often comes from exploring the nature of cloth itself – an exploration of weave structures, the physical properties of fibers and the colorful interplay of warp and weft - and also springs from travel experiences with different cultures from around the globe. My processes are grounded in my deep love of weaving, combined with quilting, surface design and stitching. “
