My work can be described as pattern-forward, visual explorations of traditionally female-dominated crafts such as quilting, sewing, and embroidery. I am fascinated by how simple geometric shapes and fibers piece together to create and communicate something greater than the sum of their parts. The ultimate purpose of my work is to bridge the gap between traditional craft and fine art by highlighting motifs and aspects of quilting, sewing, and embroidery within paintings and colored pencil drawings.
