Art with a Story
My creative practice manifests the spiritual and emotional into the physical. Working in painting, drawing and fiber art, my thoughts, feelings and experience become solid, tangible and visceral. They hearken back to the primal urge we humans have to create, to take from our mind and memories and make something real. Analog in a digital world, my marks are the marks of time, my forms and shapes a record of things gone; my colors are fleeting thoughts, my stitches are emotional maps of lived experience.
