About Us
I design and weave contemporary images using the ancient medium of tapestry which allows me to create images and cloth at the same time.
In general, my focus is on the female face and form. I often work in series, which allows me to explore a subject more fully. I have been working on a Burlesque series and a corset series most recently.
I use many different fibers including cotton, wool, silk, rayon and metallics., whatever works for my design.
I exhibit and teach internationally and have won awards as far flung as Serbia and England.
