My work is part of a continual process of discovery. Collage approach has become the clear way to express my ideas. It is an extension of my being and the education I received from the women in my family. Having developed this collage process, I can focus now more deeply on the concepts, the beliefs, the life that energizes me. The processes involved in the creation of my work include painting and printing on fabrics with textile inks and fiber reactive dyes, cutting, piecing, applique, weaving collage, quilting, and embellishing.
Many pieces grow spontaneously, while others develop from original drawings.
Intuition plays a strong part in the process of building my art quilts. This process is an exploration, an adventure. I never know the outcome ahead of time. Painting and embellishment are equally important in my work. One influences the other, they are dependent on each other, and together create a unified whole.
