Notre Dame

Artwork Tags:

My current work explores the intersection of drama and serenity through the use of line. I'm fascinated by how much I can distill and take away while continuing to convey the essence of my subject. With so much turmoil in our world, my Architecture series pays tribute to those who built us places for our souls to pause and be restored. Visiting Notre Dame in 2017, I was struck by exactly that intersection. For centuries, it has been a place of refuge and peace amid our chaos, whether small personal crises or large international ones.

STATEMENT

Walking into a fabric store as a child, I would run my hand over all the bolts of fabric as I passed them. That love of texture has never left me. Over time I have expressed that love as a garment maker, then a quilter, and now as a textile artist. I'm never happier or more at peace than when I'm creating and stitching. My current work explores the intersection of drama and serenity through the use of line. I'm fascinated by trying to find out how much I can distill and take away while continuing to convey the essence of my subject or idea. I often work in black and white which further assists in keeping the focus on line.
