About

Journey

I came to quilting and textiles with a varied background in fine arts.  My work can be found in international exhibitions, private and public collections.  From 2005 – 2023 I facilitated The Bhavana Project, a community work based on Tibetan prayer flags.  

I lead contemplative creative process workshops. 

I am a certified yoga teacher with 30 years of experience in adaptive techniques.

With gratitude I acknowledge the encouragement and guidance of my teachers.

Inspiration

I find joy in the process of art making.  With that process I respond to beauty.  I interpret sense impressions from water, earth, or light with mark making on fabric or other surfaces.  Often the materials themselves inspire the work’s direction.  Cloth is an ideal medium for developing rich textures, molding to manipulations by paint, water, heat, or stitch.  I especially enjoy the physicality and meditative pace of hand stitching.  Working intuitively, following curiosity as the piece unfolds, I am nourished by the discoveries I make.

Vision

The practices of art making, meditation and yoga have common threads.  All help bring me back to my senses in the present moment.  Appreciation for the creative process awakens an aliveness which flows into other areas of my life.  As a guide, I aspire to share what I have learned so others may also experience joyful creativity.
