Artist Statement:
As a contemporary rug hooking
artist, I like to challenge
the medium and explore
untraditional imagery and
materials.
When I look at my work, I
realize that I am a story
teller. I build stories one
loop at a time using wool,
cotton and silk threads.
These stories capture lost
moments, express and celebrate
the joy of creation with an
infusion of humor.
In our busy modern lives, it
is important to find time to
observe the simple truths that
evoke feelings, provoke
memories and even transport
us to a time of innocence.
My hope for this piece is that
the viewers will first
recognize a beauty that
invites them to look further,
and then find themselves
lingering over the unanswered
questions the piece provokes.
I hope that tension stays with
them long after they have
stepped away.
