I have curated a fiber show, “Celebrating Fibers”, for the Austin Fiber Artists(AFA).
Please join AFA for the opening reception of ‘Celebrating Fiber’ at the
JGallery, 7300 Hart Lane, Austin, Texas on
Tuesday, December 5 from 7-8:30pm. The show runs from December 4, 2017-January
22, 2018. A number of SAQA members have work included in this show.
My art is an expression of my experiences with the people and world around me. I like to work extemporaneously and in the abstract. Bright colors tend to excite me, as well as geometry and asymmetry. I typically work in the moment, working with paints and dyes on fabric, creating serendipitous designs.

Threaded Journeys
If you are traveling to or from Austin, do check out my show in the West Gallery (behind the store - BookPeople) at the Austin Bergstrom International Airport, near gates 11 and 12.
Threaded Journeys, ABIA, August 8 – November 1, 2017
I invite you to join me on the
journey from blank canvas to completed artwork. My design work often starts
with black and white marks, adding symbolic colors and shapes to reflect
emotions and events in my life. Pockets of intense color represent my interaction
with the world in which I live.
For the most part, my
work starts out as a pristine piece of solid fabric. The journey begins in a
dye bath or with discharge to create the background, then paint brush, stencil
or syringe, to add accent colors. The design may be a result of serendipity or
a purposeful application of color. Often, I add machine piecing, stitching,
applique or hand stitching to create depth and interest in the piece. Printing,
stenciling, painting, stitching, appliqueing and other techniques of fabric
manipulation are all involved in getting my designs onto the cloth.
Threaded
Journeys is a display of my fiber art that brings together a
collection of my techniques and methods. I like to work extemporaneously and in
the abstract. The simple line of a geometric shape, the blast of a colorful
line, or the contrast of black against white makes my canvas sing. Many of my
works combine my love of paint on fabric and geometric shapes, making the
compositions appear abstract at first glance. I invite you to inspect them and
explore the abstractions I have created. As you get closer, the detail, texture
and subtle color changes will become evident.
This exhibit includes
fiber art pieces with fabric manipulated with discharge, paint, dyes,
stitching, embroidery, and recycled materials.
With many experiences yet
to encounter, many dyes and paints to explore, and many yards of fabric to
tangle with, I hope my abstract art will provoke you and bring a smile to your
face.
