About me

Industry Arts
Occupation Artist
Location Brunswick, Maryland, United States
Introduction works in a hybrid medium combining hand embroidery and hand stitched beadwork with acrylic paint as a medium for making art for over three decades. The act of hand stitching thread and beads is a slow and repetitive process that affords the space for uninterrupted thought. The act of painting is spontaneous, in the moment, physical movement. Combining these two opposite states gives form to endless exploration into the mystery of being. I work intuitively, mining personal experiences, energy, movement, nature and the occasional external interruptions of politics. I use this medium of minutiae as a practice for connecting with the vastness.
