Artist's Statement

Whether designing, dyeing, painting, or sewing, I continually look for ways to make something beautiful or useful more easily and efficiently. I constantly ask, "What if?" and use the answers to inspire new work. Each piece reveals a hidden aspect of experience and soul. Looking back on earlier work, I see collections and series representing the pursuit of ideas, themes, images, and construction methods. The inner mind drives new explorations. Satisfying the need for creativity, I find there are ways to share my insights with others through articles, ebooks, lectures, and classes. My greatest hope is that my work and teachings enrich the lives of all who encounter them.​
