Artist Statement
The rational and intuitive are connected in my work, expressed with color, textiles, papers, and the use of my handicraft, needlepoint. The coupling of grids, both painted and that of the needlepoint canvas, is my homage to the historical antecedents of women who expressed their creativity through craft needlepoint and quilts. By weaving colors, patterns, and textures together, several motifs are repeated and serve as the foundation for the work, enabling the painting’s “architecture” to adhere and activate the surface.
