As an artist, I am fascinated by the poetics of color and texture, the erotic collision of the optic and haptic. I have left behind figure and form, instead relying on my inner sense to spontaneously create my pieces. Each work is my own ephemeral response to color, its power to arouse emotion and meaning, uplift and inspire, and embody transcendence. With a few colors and a hook in hand, I intuitively play, allowing each fiber piece to emerge and be named. My process starts in the dye pots and my enchantment with the infinite possibilities of creating new colors from dyes and the spectrum of physiological, psychological and spiritual reactions these colors can stimulate and convey.

Currently, I am working on a number of art rugs for an exhibition called “Color Squared,” which uses color relationships in square grids and freestyle compositions to explore squares as windows to other dimensions behind (or beyond) the flat surface, as well as bricks that structure reality and the patterns of life that sustain us.
