​

My current artistic practice is felt-making, the process of turning wool roving or fleece (unspun animal fiber), a loose, unintegrated, fluffy conglomeration of fibers into a fabric that has cohesion, integrity and dimension.

I use welt-felting, primarily, which uses soap, water, and friction to create fabric. I make flat surfaces, such as wall-hangings, pillow covers, table runners or scarves, or 3-dimensional objects, such as vessels or bowls.

I'm particularly interested in the interaction of color, while I'm also playing with texture pattern and composition. My work is largely abstract. I sometimes incorporate natural materials, such as stones, shells or mica, into my work, as well as metallic foil. I may also embroider.
