I have been a fiber artist for almost 30 years. I am a surface designer
working on silk. Color, a sense of movement and discovery all intrigue
me. In my work, I explore texture created through color, sometimes
using the Japanese Shibori dyeing techniques of Itajime and Arashi. I
also use the rice paste resist technique of Katazome to create designs.
These are combined with screen printing, painting and the use of
pigments.
The silk is mounted, sometimes in 3D shapes that allow it to be viewed
from several different directions or in 2D pieces that appear to float on
the wall. I am constantly striving to present the silk in unexpected ways.
Not just hanging on the wall.
My artwork has been widely exhibited in regional and international
juried shows where I have received numerous awards.
