I am enthralled with the animated line, so I abstain from rulers, straight edges and templates. I cut freely and directly into fabrics, using only my eye as a guide. I love unexpected color shifts and gradations, as well as high contrast color combinations. I love fabrics and surface design and love putting them together in some sort of composition driven only by my intuition. I like exploring various optical effects in my work, especially transparency and shifting foreground/background. I am interested in creating works that explore aesthetic concerns, but at the same time are often anchored in the traditional motifs of stripes, checkerboards, borders, and binding found in more traditional quilts.
