Artist Statement:
“I want to have an effect on
this era in which human beings
are so much at a loss and so
in need of help.” Kathe
Kollwitz, 1922
Like many artists throughout
history, I find it difficult
to articulate my feelings in a
conventional way. Fabric has
given me my voice, allowing me
to create colorful, powerful
statements about the things
that I love, find abhorrent,
or am moved by.
I am often inspired by women
in the news and women I know
or imagine, and they are
reflected in the strong
textures, vibrant colors, and
wide variety of fabric and
thread that characterize my
work.
Experimenting with different
techniques is an integral part
of my art. I dye, paint, or
print many of the fabrics I
use, and often incorporate
found objects, items discarded
as no longer useful that find
new life in my quilts.
Working in the art quilt
medium allows me to express my
innermost feelings about our
world, the times we live in,
and the human condition. I
love making my mark with
needle and thread, and I, too,
hope to have an effect on
this, our era....
