Growing up, my mother sewed constantly so it is not surprising that I learned to love textiles, fabrics, cloth and sewing. In my education as a textile artist weaving became, and still is, a powerful passion along with dying thread, encaustics, eco printing cloth, hand stitching and recently knitting.
