"As a fiber artist in Signal Hill, California, I have been drawing the inspiration for my work from the ever changing hills that make up the California landscape and the ravens and crows that mirror the human residents.

I use the idea of layers to transform fabric, moving from what is, to what might be. By progressively experimenting with various design elements and techniques, I have developed a method of layering while working within strong structural shapes. The color and form of the structural shapes are important for their initial impact and concept development; within these structural elements on the base quilt canvas I use a variety of yarns, beads and found objects in combination with hand painted velveteens, silks and cotton fabrics to create textural layers."
