I use digital photography in combination with textiles to create layered narratives about identity, relationships and culture. Many of my photographs are studies of nature (trees, water) that--through the action of the natural elements--have serendipitously revealed a figurative component. 

To create these works, digital images are printed on cotton or silk, then layered with transparent fabrics (e.g., silk or poly organza) to create illusions of dimension and/or movement. 

Transparency, layering, collage, distortions and reflections are my vocabulary for exploring discrepancies between what is seen and what is under the surface and for creating metaphors for the ways objective and subjective experience blend together.

In 2022, my work "Party Favors" was juried into the prestigious Art Quilt Elements show at the Wayne Art Center, Wayne PA (and sold!). This international show features the best of contemporary textiles as wall art. 

In Oct-Dec 2021, I was honored to participate in a 3-woman show at the Boyer Gallery in Pottstown, PA. This show, "The Fabric of Nature," included nine pieces from the series "Portraits of Women As Trees." 

My work has also been juried into exhibitions at the Schweinfurth Art Center, Albany, NY; Sacred Threads, Herndon, VA; Textiles in Translation, Penn College, Williamsport; and others. 

You can read articles about "Portraits of Women as Trees" and "Seven Modern Sins" in Art Quilting Studio, Spring, 2021 and Winter 2022, respectively (Stampington & Co).
