I work intuitively creating patterns and textures that often resemble something found in nature through the use of mixed media.  The work is often inspired by the curiosity of a specific medium and the discovery of pushing its limits. Embellishments of thread, stitching, and/or knots are added to slow the process driven work, a meditation of sorts.  The artwork becomes a sensory experience for the viewer and an invitation to question what lies just below the surface of perception.
