About the Artist
I find inspiration for my work in the Great Basin surroundings of Nevada and California- from monochromatic winters to dramatic summer sunrises and sunsets. History and craft techniques of previous cultures, research, travel, and hands-on experience augmented with sophisticated equipment of computers, luscious yarns supply boundless resources. I find the combination of weaving and knitting techniques and textures an inspiration in itself. If the style dictates, I don’t hesitate to change the original textile using felting, discharging (color removal), or adding surface design with dye layering, beads, or buttons. One’s body is a piece of sculpture-all shapes, sizes, and forms. I drape artwork over the sculpture!
