Artist Statement

My work is the result of an intuitive action of flinging paint on fabric. My process is defined through the application of applying paint with syringes and squirt bottles on the surface. I typically begin with black paint on a white fabric background. The process is an important aspect to my design. I tend to think outside the box. My tools of choice include fabric reactive dyes, paints, and a host of threads.

I like to color outside the lines. The serendipity of the paint landing on the fabric dictates the direction of my initial design. Sometimes the impromptu line is enough to ground my design.

At other times, the challenge of incorporating a line of paint into a cohesive design is the challenge that brings me joy.

I believe in giving back to the art community, and because of this, I have donated my time and artwork for fund raising causes to a variety of art organizations.

My work is fun and energizing.  I realize that I have many paints to explore, and many yards of fabric yet to tangle with. I hope the viewer is able to connect with my abstractions and to find delight in the view.
