ARTIST STATEMENT:
As a contemporary fiber artist, I have a strong preference for natural fibers and materials. Their shapes, designs, and colors inspire the artwork. I sometimes like to combine these natural elements with found objects. I start with an idea. Then the play among mind and materials continually stimulates the creative process and leads my work in new directions. Using traditional materials in sometimes unusual ways, I want to create designs, shapes, and styles that stretch the imagination and react with the senses.

TECHNIQUE:
Coiling, wrapping.

MATERIALS:
Pine needles, Irish waxed linen, rag cordage from India, knotting, wrapped string from Turkey.
