Standing On Fertile Ground

As an artist and human being, I am enchanted by the stories embedded in earth, water, tree, leaf, root, and stone.  I am also fascinated by the larger story of the complex systems and processes giving rise to the phenomenal world.  Through my art work, I explore the many recurring patterns and forces in nature, their interactions and manifestations.  Whether working “soft” (true to material) or “hard” (with other media), the stitched and felted composite cloth provides a means by which I can begin to evoke the sacred universality I encounter in the natural world.  read more….
