Artist’s Statement
Much of my work reflects my interest in the lives of women. While I portray women in history, a number of pieces also address issues of importance to women - oppression, discrimination and violence – that have plagued women historically and yet continue to do so. I am inspired by nature, its qualities of constant change within the context of permanence, which serves as the background in all of my work.
All work is rendered in fabric and, occasionally, other fibers. Most pieces are quilted. Some of the pieces incorporate other techniques such as spinning, crochet work, embroidery and appliqué. My newest work utilizes painting on fabric.
