I enjoy the challenge of working with patterns and layers. I work from observation, pinning up the fabric and directing clamp lights like a stage. Painting of fabric or drapery has a long-standing importance in history of painting. Deep shadowed folds on cloths give the illusion of depth. Sometimes they become curtains at a theater, separating our world from the world inside the painting.
