My art is created from silk that is sliced and seamed in repetitive turns. For deeper insight, read my artist statement.

“I make mobiles, I make textiles. I wonder at th “I make mobiles, I make textiles. I wonder at the similarities.” And I got them to laugh!☺️A sincere #thankyou to Front Range Contemporary Quilters for honoring me as their guest speaker last night. What a gift you are to each other and the Denver community. It was a memorable moment for me, and I’m grateful for the experience. Special thanks to @drfiber for coordinating my visit.✨ #similarities #artisticvoice #transitions #growingexperience

Artist Talk: “Message and Innovation”, Front R Artist Talk: “Message and Innovation”, Front Range Contemporary Quilters February 17th Monthly Meeting 7-9pm (my talk is near 8pm) Westminster Recreation Center, 10455 Sheridan Blvd., Westminster, Colorado. I hope you'll join me for this casual but thoughtful talk, focusing on consistencies I've noticed in my art over time. I'll be sharing the journey my work has taken from graduate school forward, making associations, illuminating connections, and voicing the questions I ask myself after each seemingly distinctive turn. Looking retrospectively, an evolution of technique is apparent, but I believe my essential questions remain the same. . . “Dropping, Falling”, from 2016. #inretrospect #coloradoartscene #frontrangecontemporaryquilters #saqacoutwy #nocoart #denverartscene
