I am a fiber artist. I have long been interested in all things fiber. In the last several years, I have become fascinated by the entire creative process involved in composing fiber art pieces using non-traditional methods and materials to achieve my artistic vision, most often inspired by nature and my original nature photography.
The surface design materials that I regularly work with on fabric include: paint, Procion MX fiber reactive dye, foraged natural plant dye, rust "dye", photos transferred to fabric, and much more... A variety of threads, and occasionally, found objects, are stitched onto the piece and more free motion stitch is added to create rich texture, dimension and additional visual interest.
