Artist Statement:
My love of art and passion
for life has driven me to
express myself artistically
ever since I was a small
child. I love the beauty
around me. I see objects that
create designs, lines that
continually flow from one
object to the next, textures,
colors, contrasting shades and
interesting shapes. Fabric
has so many of these qualities
that the idea of seeking out
and working with fabric has
become a full time adventure.
For each picture the fabrics
is chosen based on how well it
fits my vision and mood of the
picture. This process of
overlaying, cutting, and
placing the fabric is known as
free style applique or fabric
collage. Using these
techniques and machine
stitching, I am able to create
a picture that has the feeling
of a painting....

| Your Personal Biography |
A native-born Californian and a lover of nature, my roots are in Sacramento. Although I was born in San Francisco I have lived in Sacramento most of my life and call this my home. I attended public schools and graduated with a degree in Art and a teaching credential from Sacramento State College.
Art has always been a big part of my life from a very early age. I took private painting lessons in my youth and continued to explore many mediums throughout my college years and beyond.
Upon graduation and receiving my credential, I started teaching elementary school and raised my family. At this time the freedom to pursue my art was channeled in a completely different direction. While teaching elementary school I would integrate art throughout the curriculum whenever possible; never leaving my passion for long periods of time. Using art in the classroom was a fulfilling experience. The primative child-like art was refreshing and innocent.
After 33 years of teaching, I retired and returned to my passion full time. 'The call of the fabric' used as my tool, stretches my imagination to create my art. I have shown my work over the past years in restaurants, fairs, and galleries. I am blessed to be able to continue my love of art and delighted that it has touched so many people.
I am currently a resident artist at the Bold Mark Gallery in Sacramento.
