As a fiber artist, I focus on the use of color and design in the creation of woven textiles and mixed media stitched pieces. I am interested in a lot of things, but color is my primary focus. My designs are inspired by my environment, and I often take photographs to capture images that later show up in my artworks as pixelated color, pattern, and texture. I live by the principle of take what you want, and throw the rest away. It is important to continue to learn new things; whether or not it feeds my process, it keeps the mind going. When people ask me “How did you know you were a weaver?”, my answer is ““I didn’t, I  just never quit.“
