Transformations,
2019-2021

This series of work explores energy, inertia, anxiety and acceptance as we transform a Pandemic into our lives. Some of the earlier abstractions were made before the shut down, but still seem to belong in this same family of work. If you are interested in purchase, please contact me for availability and payment information, since some of these pieces are promised to exhibits once the world opens up.

Text on Textiles

I am fascinated with letter forms, language and found words and signs. I am using text in my work in subtle and not-so-subtle ways, with a variety of surface design techniques, including stamping, screen-printing, direct digital printing, fused collage, sun prints and hand lettering. I teach these techniques in my online and in-person workshops. I also love to experiment with text designs using my iPad apps. If you are interested in any of these approaches, send me a message through the contact page with your questions or use the form below to join my email list to hear about upcoming courses.

Angels, Saints and Sinners

I often use the female form in my work — it’s me and not me, aspects of the sacred feminine who lives in and works through all of us, men and women alike. I actually use patterns traced from my own body for these images, connecting quite literally to me and my world. As a repeating series of work, many of the icons repeat through my work: hands for the power of making, heads for the home of thought and ideas, moons and mermaids for the siren of creativity.

“Nothing is sacred and everything is,” “My goddesses, saints, and angels are less about religion than they are about everyday occurrences: our hopes, dreams, frustrations, foundations and the resources we call upon in the secret spaces of the heart.”
