Artist Statement

I use fibre art, painting, sculpture, and adornment to explore my hopes and dreams for myself and the world. Each medium comes with its own inherent limitations, so I find it deeply satisfying to dig into one medium for a while, and then take what I’ve learned or discovered and put it into another. Working in this way, my artwork is continually expanding, with a thread connecting it all.

Adornment – This is the newest medium for me to add to my toolbox. I have always loved to wear handmade jewelry and accessories by local artisans. Adornment is a way that I express myself, so it makes perfect sense for me to use this as a new medium for my work. Creating wearable art feels a bit like coming home.
