My mixed media work uses traditional handwork techniques; combining imagery, text, handmade paper and textiles in unconventional ways. At first glance, one sees re-appropriation and re-use of pattern pieces and shapes. But further exploration of each piece reveals a multitude of layers; a host of stories and life reflections.
The stitch, used in many of my pieces is a connection to prior generations.
My work draws on memories. Growing up in Nebraska I have a fondness for the open prairie where you can see for miles. My mother and grandmother were a significant influence in my love for clothing, textiles and design.
