About me

Introduction	I play with color and pattern to create the illusion of deep, layered and contemplative spaces in my weavings. Warp and weft elements intersect to produce subtle and/or dramatic forms and contrasts. There is a planned outcome, but it can also be challenged or distorted by the warp and weft under tension. I draw inspiration from historic and contemporary textiles from many cultures, as well as from rhythms in the landscape, architectural structures, and found object compositions. The splendid patterns and vibrant colors of the ikat fabrics and embroideries from Uzbekistan are most recent influence on my work.
