I am an artist who uses images to tell stories. The charcoal line, unadulterated and powerful, is the backbone of what I create. In that line joy, sorrow and strength are found. It is the still the quiet moments of life that inform my work. The tranquility of a cup of tea and a good book speak to my soul. Balancing serenity in a very busy world is an ever-present challenge. My work speaks to the joy of capturing moments of peace. Using fabric as my palette is a unique choice which infuses pattern, texture and color. The imagery and textiles symbolize the fiber of living.
