Fiber Art Quilts
My art quilts are created by fibercation techniques of mixed-media collage and stitching. I dream and conceptualize shapes and forms is a part of my inspiration and my design process.
I sketch nearly every day. I revisit my sketches and visualize the mood, color and shape of things to come.
It is a meditative process. My sketch books and mood boards that I create are the documentation of my artistic journey. My art includes, mixed textiles, appliqué, draping, leather, suede, decorative trims, stones, brass hardware, French bias-edged, bead work and 3-D sculptural attributes. I use dye work with rich vibrant colors and layering to depict the rhythm and flow of the artwork.
