My artistic practice has included cross-stitch (and yarn bombing), felting, and embroidery on fabric (including simple drawstring bags) and, increasingly, on paper. I continue to find my imagination sparked by colors, textures, and shapes in found materials including cards, antique prints, and photographs. Minor additions--and sometimes major ones--can change the feeling of an object or bring out its inherent qualities more fully.

Lately, I find myself using more embellishments, from sentimental to whimsical. I continue to focus on dimensionality, as in the 3-D embroidery of a cat outside a collaged window background, or Alice “through the looking glass” on a page from an old book, which also continues my interest in combining text with imagery,. My work engages in a dialogue with objects (and sometimes their original creators) with the aim of making something that brings new, or renewed, pleasure to viewers.
