Fiber Artist

I have been creating art with my sewing machine for more than twenty-five years –growing, changing and developing new fiber techniques along the way.


I am pleased to be able to make a living doing what I love.

The seasonal changes in the North Carolina mountains offer daily visual inspiration for my art I begin each piece by painting large sheets of canvas. I then cut, piece, and layer the background like a quilt.

Many small embroidered parts are applied to the surface to build color and texture. I also like to use metallic fabrics and thread because the light-reflective quality adds a whole other dimension.
