My fascination with two-dimensional art shaped my childhood. A degree in Business and a brief career in the interior design world as a drapery specialist enabled me to incorporate fabrics from my workroom into paintings, developing a mixed media approach to the visual arts.

I love beautiful, vivid fabrics, especially patterned silks. Walking into a fabric store and seeing all the eye candy is the biggest treat for me. I have developed my own unique approach where I freely combine acrylics, black and white photography, and a wide range of colorful hand-dyed and textured fabrics to create an entirely new and spiritually charged experience of the everyday world.

Inspired by the rich variety of the geology and landscape all over the world, I am presently exploring the inherent beauty and mystery of rocks, trees, and local flora.

When I observe the world around me, I see an infinitely varied world, where no design is repeated exactly. The fusion of fabric and paint in my art enables me to see the world in patterns as well as in a textured and multi-dimensional way. My work is not flat but round.

Having an Etsy shop is especially gratifying because of my contact with my customers and co-sellers on the site. I believe in providing trusted, excellent service to my clients. I try through convos to have human contact with everyone who knocks on my shop door seeking splendor and serenity. So, feel free to visit my world of art and feast your eyes on my vision of beauty. If I can help or answer any questions, please drop me a line.
