My work explores color, pattern, line, and shape through the use of textiles and occasionally enhanced with intuitive stitch. Through the use of reclaimed textiles, I am challenged to explore patterns through the inherent beauty of inconsistently faded colors, worn elements, and distressed materials. Imperfection of materials keep my work unique in this world of over manufactured and homogenized goods. Once I have designed, pieced, and stitched together the materials I pull them taut over the canvas, creating a painted-like image rich with texture and contemporary in design. My work carries on the tradition of woman as maker, pushes the boundary between fine art and craft, and questions the definition of painting.
