I had found my artistic home. As an artist from day 1 I explored many different mediums over the years, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, performance art. I devoured any opportunity to deepen my understanding of my self & source. so many of my earlier drawings, and watercolors and visual snapshots have provided the frameworks for my textile inquiries. for over 20 years I’ve studied Eastern Philosophies that resonates strongly in my heart, and its influence apparent in my all aspects of my life.
