Artist's Statement
My work is inspired by the mysterious relationships we hold among God, the human trek toward destiny, and nature. Here, in my work and the manipulation of material, form, language, lyrics and music is where I find the importance of truth and deception. I enjoy pushing boundaries, employing multiple techniques such as poetry, writing, hand painting cloth, hand and machine embroidery, decoupage, bead embroidery, redwork, stumpwork, peyote, hand and machine quilting, felting, crochet, and papier-mâché within projects. The fun begins when more than one technique visits, thereby creating cohesion and chaos, straight and crooked, as is the way of our journey into enlightenment

Palm oil plantations destroy rain forests (our planet's lungs) from Indonesia to West Africa. Think about palm oil in ice cream, peanut butter, bread, potato chips, cosmetics and more. Read labels before purchasing. Consider alternatives. Thank you.
