My work is a blend of textile and storytelling. I draw on the narrative of emotion expressed through a visual setting. Fiber is my chosen language. Its color, texture, and structure allows me to articulate the nuances of a mature female perspective that’s grounded in time and place.
Through weaving, knotting, and surface embellishment, I explore a range of what fiber can say. My work spans representational pieces with imagery symbolic of transition and change, to wearable jewelry reflecting respect for the ocean - its force, inhabitants and for those who protect it. Each piece communicates a point of view.
By engaging with the traditions of textile making, I aim to express a perspective and invite others to find a thread of their own story within the work.
