New work! I guess, in my mind, the possibilities of expressing that possibilities are endless…are endless! I particularly loved doing all the hand stitching on this one.

The Possibilities Are Endless III
February 17, 2020The Possibilities Are Endless II
December 17, 2019My newest piece. I really find the process of cutting, placing and stitching all those small silk shapes very meditative.
It will be hung at Mitchell Giddings Fine Art gallery in Brattleboro,VT which is opening in its new beautiful space this Friday evening!
Belgium Curator Talk
May 27, 2019
Guillaume Desanges speaking during a curator talk about two of my pieces hung in the show, “Matters of Concern”. I wish I could have heard what he had to say! The exhibit is up until July 6th at La Verriere gallery in Brussels.
The Possibilities are Endless
April 19, 2019Finally finished! It’s a larger piece than usual for me but I really loved the process of working on this (not always the case!). The creating flowed and the niggling voice of self doubt stayed quiet.

Seed Dreaming I
Of the World
October 29, 2017
This new piece evolved from a large charcoal sketch drawn during a life drawing class to this layered exploration of our interconnectedness with the world. My fascination with our relationship with billions of microbial fellow travelers was a huge influence! Again, I highly recommend the book, I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong.
Doing a more figurative piece is a new stretch for me. I’d welcome some feedback!

My artist talk video
June 15, 2017In conjunction with my solo show last fall at Mitchell-Giddings FIne Art gallery, I gave an artist talk jointly with fellow fiber artist, Jackie Abrams. If you’re interested, here’s a link to the full talk. I cover a lot of ground! Including my inspiration, materials and techniques.
Boy, is it weird to watch myself!

Life Drawing
January 26, 2017This fall in order to try to stretch my creative chops, I took a semester long Life Drawing class. The last time I did this was a hundred years ago in college and it took some time to get used to the messiness and loveliness of working with charcoal again. Each week we had a different model, all shapes and sizes and drew for over 2 hours.
I loved it. I’d leave each class covered in charcoal dust. I do think it was helpful for me to do something away from fabric and get back to looking and drawing again.
I have some ideas brewing on how to integrate elements of these drawings into my next fiber piece…we’ll see.
Hand/Eye magazine featured artist
December 2, 2016I was contacted by Rebeca Schiller, editor of visually sumptious Hand/Eye magazine to be interviewed for an article titled “Invented Biology”about my art. I think she did a really good job of coherently conveying why and what I do from my oftentimes meandering answers. I’m grateful for this opportunity. I encourage you to check it out as well as taking a look at this beautiful, interesting online publication.
