Art is me. It is everything I am and everything I am not. It is where I am going and where I have been. As a fibers artist I prefer working in the area of non-loom: using fiber arts techniques that are not executed on a loom. In my work I am most enthusiastic about utilizing non-traditional materials like wire for its sculptural quality and beads for the overall texture they provide. With an obsessive compulsive love for detail in all facets of my art, I get a sense of accomplishment when I finish a vessel knowing how much time was consumed stringing the beads by hand. In the body of work I am currently working on I have begun to push the technique, spoke-wrapping also referred to as tinkering, in different directions and have begun to incorporate found objects. In the future I hope to continue experimenting to see how far I can push myself and my work toward larger forms and further incorporation of found objects.
