I primarily use thread and fabric as my art medium. Recently, I have been pulled towards abstract expression, which leaves the viewer to fill in the blanks with their own connections and terms.   

In 2023 I was wrestling with some over-held issues which my father dying brought up. Embroidery helped me process them in My Stained Life. 

And Delicious Taste of Perhaps, June 2024, is that spark, that hope that caresses your mind and delights your imagination.

Shells; Loud Silence was made during the lock down and aftermath of the pandemic as I processed the new reality and the melding of what I had experienced and what now the rest of the world knew. Put a shell to your ear and you will hear the secret whispers that were always there.

I posted some individual pieces that are not a collection but I enjoyed making in Singles. 

Hope you enjoy.

 What's important in sharing my visual pieces is to connect our humanity and spark conversation; do you have similar feelings, distractions, desires, wonders and questions, remembered longings? While our exact circumstances may not be the same, we all can relate to the pain of relationship dissolution, childhood pain held too long, social invisibility and the pressing need to save ourselves through re-invention. After I make pieces, I usually don't like them anymore and have had to learn to let the pieces have a life of their own. I use my art to work through thoughts and ideas, which makes me feel like the pieces are then 'old' once finished. I leave them here in case anyone gets what I also needed from them.
