Artist Statement, 'Portals,' Winter Show & Silent Auction, 2011:

For me, a portal is a threshold to an adventure. Destination is descriptive of a journey. Calligraphic markings, exotic architecture, mixed media, and travel symbols represent an invitation to move across time and space. Painting, masking, drawing, stenciling, stamping, and machine embroidery and quilting were used to create this portal piece.

Artist Biography:

Fiber has held my curiosity and creative interest for most of my adult life. I enjoy learning about the cultural and historic aspects of textiles through written material as well as hands on activity. Lately I’ve been working with mixed media, blending traditional sewing skills with alternative art techniques. I also find myself drawing on my calligraphy training from many years ago. I’ve learned that life isn’t linear. It is cyclic experience with each cycle providing more depth and clarity.
