I have been creating one-of-a-kind sewn fiberworks for over 25 years. My specialty is large-scale, site-specific works. My pieces have been commissioned by religious institutions, prisons, schools, hospitals, commercial and residential clients from Alaska to Florida and most states in between.

My works are often characterized by optical illusions, and are sewn in brightly colored fabrics. I use commercial and found fabrics of every color and texture. I love the contrast of matte versus shiny, and creating the illusion of space in two dimensions. I also create narrative works, which have been exhibited nationally and internationally in juried, invitational and solo shows.

I invite you to look at my fiberworks, and to see how I create and install them.
