DECADE: 1970s

My artwork is a reflection of many interests and events that have affected and shaped
my perception of the world. I look at the depth and texture of fiber as offering new and
unique opportunities for breaking the plane of conventional art, lending additional
dimension to traditional artistic techniques. Fluid shapes, shifting textures, and
captivating colors convey my contemporary interpretations of the world around us. Olive
with a Twist, my abstract
interpretation of certain
societal norms and
business practices
prevalent during the 1970's,
reflects the extravagant
cocktail parties and three
martini lunches common to
that decade.
