  After creating in clay for over twenty-five years, I realized I desired another artistic endeavor. I began making Handmade Artist Books. The books are created using many different structures utilizing handmade and manufactured papers, wood slats, book board and various natural items. 

In the spring of 2023, I added another medium to my creative practice. This medium is Fiber Arts using natural or pre-printed fabrics/batiks and natural items to create wall or table sculptures. Slow stitching is added to the fabrics for more interest. These sculptures created have aesthetic value over utilitarian.

I began creating sculptures with fabrics in March 2023. Fibre Arts Take Two was my starting point after attending one of their online courses.

I began creating sculptures with fabrics in March 2023. Fibre Arts Take Two was my starting point after attending one of their online courses. 

With my creations, I first decide on a color scheme which typically turns into a theme for the sculpture.  The fabrics are hand sewn into shapes and forms using a filling to give them an interesting dimension.
I am a collector of items I find on my walks. I add these items to the sculptures - leaves, sticks, feathers, seed pods. Voila!
