Greetings!  Welcome to my virtual studio, a place where we can share musings on creativity, art-making, and studio notes.  Much of my recent artwork is textile-based collage featuring silk paper, nuno felt, handspun yarns and/or handwoven fabrics from the collection I’ve amassed during fifteen years of fiber art. In my early adult life I resisted sewing in any form (until “Thread Day,” a funny story you can read here) but for the past 10+ years I have enthusiastically explored the many variations of art quilting. I absolutely love silk screening, fabric dyeing and other surface design techniques, have branched out to encaustic, printmaking and mixed media, and recently returned to a long-lost love of photography. I enjoy sharing these mediums, techniques and processes with you in this blog, and I hope you’ll enjoy . . . and comment on . . . these conversations.
