ARTIST STATEMENT
My works centers around bringing the outside in. Bringing my sense of delight and appreciation of the natural world to viewers through my art. Manipulating photographs and creating digital images is a huge part of my artistic motivation.
I experiment, looking for new and inventive ways to take my work to the next level, printing on unique or unconventional media, displayed in various ways. Each presentation adds to the pioneering innovations and give my work edge. Every work generates an artistic tension, followed by the excitement of the actual creation of the work. A dialogue is started, and the work becomes real.
My techniques can be further investigated in my book- Digital Fiber Art and Other Mixed Media Masterpieces, an online workshop with Fibre Arts Take Two and a new book to be released early 2024 by Schiffer Publishing.
