Framed Fiber Collage – View from the Pines

My work begins with an observation, experience or object that I stumble upon. I'm inspired by art and design that came before me and use this as a reference point in much of my work adding a contemporary twist. I make collages with hand dyed cottons, vintage fabrics and sometimes paper elements that incorporate traditional and modern quilting techniques. I think that viewers respond to my work because it depicts the familiar in an unusual medium.
