Artist featured in a collection
Layers of paper, fabric, embroidery, gold leaf and gouache on canvas. Inspired by the concept of captivity and the authority we have over the thoughts and feelings of others. Let them out asks the viewer to question what they are keeping contained and controlled. I am inspired by vintage children's illustration and find the humor and wit in drawing those images into the current circumstances of today.

Within my work I use scrap fabric, which I cut, layer and paint with gouache to create textural and narrative pieces. Embroidery and paper is added. The result is a collage-like piece that creates a visual metaphor, connecting current events and human experiences. The use of textiles is intrinsic to my work. It allows me to connect with the viewer, as it appeals to their sense of nostalgia; it connects them to something that is in all our histories -- the handiwork, embroidery, quilts and other objects our grandmothers and great grandmothers made that were, in essence, art. My artwork has a strong humanitarian and narrative element. This ties into the storytelling aspect of the work. The work is inspired by vintage children’s book illustration and this, in combination with the traditional textile handicraft, references the haunting experience of sifting through our memories — poignant and evocative; difficult to ignore or forget.
