Though experimenting with different mediums,
there are always commonalities: perceptions of women, images of my past, and
nature are ever present in my work. With each subject I chose the medium that
will best help me create my idea.It
can be sequins to show the dazzling feathers of a hummingbird or a map as the
backdrop for a scene.
In each series I advance my exploration of
mixing mediums and continue to delve into myself and the outside world for my
subject matter.
I have always been interested in exploring and
working with diverse materials: creating functional and sculptural ceramics, sewing
quilts using traditional techniques but with a modern subject matter, printmaking,
painting and taking everyday materials and altering their function. I explore
the relationship between materials. Whether it is incorporating multiple mediums
into one piece or giving new meaning to existing objects.
