Recent Work

The works below will be included in my solo show at Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado opening July 30, 2021.

I’m working to post more images (and links to detail images) here soon. You may also Follow me on Instagram for more insight.

Purchasing Information

I donate 2% of all textile art sales to The Xerces Society. Its mission is to protect invertebrates and their habitats.

Lights off. “Whirlwind”, 2021. Here’s a bit Lights off. “Whirlwind”, 2021. Here’s a bit of writing from 2019 I found hidden on my website. It captures the trajectory of these recent works: “I am driven to describe the wrenching emotions of anger, sorrow, and regret in a world of delirious transformation. Deeper in, I envision a gracious immutable presence, yet myself, but impervious to my pain. Such a perilous unity with my own spirit is guiding these compositions, but I am beginning work without clarity of its message. I am the dark shadow in these works, I am – I make – the wounded, cowardly forms.” #artistslife #journaling #lightsoff #perilousjourney

My solo show is halfway over and this is how it fe My solo show is halfway over and this is how it feels. It’s difficult being out of state…I feel really disconnected. If you watched my interview with the curator, you know that for me this piece is about giving up my quest for a core truth, about feeling inept at understanding life, what’s real, how things work. It’s expressing my exasperation. It’s not a sweet release, it’s a frustration.
