ARTIST STATEMENT
Since 1991, I have hand-dyed fibers to create one-of-a-kind quilts, garments and wall hangings. The process of dyeing and surface design is a key element of my work, often combining traditional patterns with a contemporary twist.  Hand dyeing fibers has connected me to other cultures, both historically and globally. and has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge with others.  Over the past 15 years I have been lecturing and teaching various dyeing classes in the Mid-Atlantic region, as well as demonstrating techniques at various festivals and schools.  Being a certified recreation therapist has allowed me to share my creativity with others.  I have been able to develop hands-on programs for schools, special needs groups, and community organizations.  I have been the recipient of several STAR grants.
