Artist's Statement:
Decorative art and wearable art have always been the center of my creative energies. Since I am interested in so many crafts and ideas, I work at times on original art quilts for the wall and beaded jewelry. In all media I like to take a starting point such as a photograph, a piece of fabric, or a stone and let it suggest to me what to do with it. As the creation takes shape, I react to what I see and add as the piece suggests itself to me. As a result of this process, all of my work is original and one of a kind. Characteristics of the work include strong texture, contrast, and graphic appeal and either nature’s colors or vibrant color contrasts with a rhythmic movement that comes from an inner musical sense. Themes involve nature, still life, and people.
