Out of the Blue

As an artist, I am inspired by organic shapes, texture, color, and simplicity of design. These elements are everywhere in our natural and built environments and serve as the basis for many of my textile works. While “less is more” is a personal mantra, it is a goal that is challenging to achieve. The process of distilling complexity into simplicity is a continual balancing act, adding and subtracting along the way until equilibrium—a calmness—seems to be at hand. Shibori techniques combined with indigo dye capture my imagination through color, texture and the organic nature of the process and results. My work is fueled by experimentation and I delight in the imperfections and unexpected outcomes.
