My fiber artwork celebrates texture, color and the myriad
possibilities fiber offers to "paint" an image using fresh and unusual
techniques. My stitched paintings involve hand-dyed silks and free-motion machine
embroidery. I blend and mix colors by layering threads to create painterly effects and
textures with thousands of sticthes. My felted collages involve dyed silks and layering. I
incorporate small pieces of different weaves and hues of pure silk to paint
the image. Each shade of color in the collage is produced by a different piece of fabric.
