FIBER + PAINTING
In my fiber and mixed media paintings I work in several formats: on stretched canvas, on wood, and on found fiber garments and objects. The sizes range from large scale installations that fill the room, medium pieces that fit over a couch or smaller works. I use as many reclaimed repurposed materials as possible. All of my work is about our connection to each other and the planet. Scroll down to see examples.
