“I often think of my pieces as woven
paintings that are built thread by thread.
In this blend of fine art and weaving, the surface of the artwork becomes something that is carefully crafted on a structural level. Luminous dimen- sion is created by layering yarns that merge and blend with hand-painted fields of color. The tactile surface becomes the focus as colors cross
and blend. Intersecting yarns form points of color that vibrate against each other and enhance the intensity of their neighbors, much like pointil- lism. From a distance the viewer’s eye blends individual colors, but up close the yarns give up their detail and offer a different experience of the piece.”
