My approach to the art of hand woven tapestry involves working in multiple layers and dimensions to create visual poems of blended colors and light. I often incorporate illusions of transparency, three-dimensional forms, and tromp l’oeil effects, utilizing many techniques found in French Gothic and Renaissance tapestries,

I draw inspiration from observations of the natural world, what is both seen and invisible. My work articulates the textures of earth memory and the undercurrent of time in terms of millennia; time of the forces which moulded earth’s canyons and mesas, oceans and mountains; time filled with the spirits of those who have come before.
