Artist Statement
I was unaware that the fervent activism of my youth would mature into artistic expression later in life. I am a critical thinker, exploring issues which affect me personally and by extension the wider world. I have chosen to work in the fiber arts as a result of the early influences of what is still largely considered “women’s work.”
In expressing my point of view, which can be challenging and sometimes risky, I examine issues salient to our modern times while listening to National Public Radio, reading about current events, or engaging in a lively discussion. All are integral parts of my creative process. I find myself further reflecting during the creation of each piece and, often to my dismay, I realize the contradictions and short comings of my personal beliefs. However, expressing myself through art provides me with temporary relief and furthers my investigation of our social world. I have the hope that you may identify with my imperfect truths.
