I am currently working through a series of botanicals, beginning with favorite trees and flowers. I work primarily with fiber, but my interpretation of fiber is broad—fabrics, canvas and paper. I have been working recently with silk and silk organza. I use commercial fabrics but paint, screen, stain, and stamp them. Photo prints are turned into paper collages that in turn become a new print, and sometimes become templates for fabric wallhangings. Two things are consistent: First, the photograph is the starting point of an idea or inspiration; and second, I make art to remind me of the beauty of the world.
