Artist Statement

My work can be described as pattern-forward, visual explorations of traditionally female-dominated crafts such as quilting, sewing, and embroidery. Each piece explores the way that fragments, or small parts, cooperate to communicate an entire image or story and seeks to highlight as well as elevate undervalued, feminine crafts. I’m especially interested and heavily influenced by folk art, kaleidoscopes, and Islamic art tiles.

It is my hope and the ultimate purpose of my work to bridge the gap between traditional craft and fine art.
