ARTIST STATEMENT
My practice is driven by my passion for all things yarn and fiber. Reflecting the ways various mediums can conjure emotion, my work is expressive, encouraging further investigation. My creative process strives to capture the accessibility of a piece, using techniques that are well within the reach of the audience. My works falls into wearable art using yarn, silk, leather, clay and more to create custom designs such as knitwear and jewelry. My other focus is the juxtaposition of fiber with paper, fabric, leather, clay and other mediums. In their finished form they beg to be touched and examined. Each work is my invitation to engage in dialogue. I leave space for individual interpretation. My art is a continuous journey of exploration, curiosity and expression, driven by my need to push the boundaries of form and fiber.
