I paint with fabric. I create intricate collages utilizing hundreds of pieces of fabric each carefully selected for their contribution to the larger composition. I have spent the last decade developing and mastering my unique process. My subjects range form humorous to serious, still life to social commentary and are inspired by the people and events of daily life. I also draw inspiration from art history and the great masters. Every piece is precisely planned and meticulously executed.

Whether creating a realistic interpretation of Rene Magritte’s quiet surrealism or a humorous statement on culture, my attention to detail and understanding of color and composition is evident. My landscapes in particular possess a persuasive sense of spatial depth not often seen in the fine fiber art.
