As a New Zealand born, NY based fiber artist I have always loved textiles, texture and all forms of fiber, wool and warmth is one of my earliest childhood memories.  I am particularly interested in creating texture and the tactile nature of how various fibers feel, react, and appear with and against each other. I was initially drawn to the woven medium by its limitless possibilities to create and the “no rules” techniques and free form style that can be applied. Through exploration and development I have created some of my own techniques to make my work  completely unique.

With the beautiful Catskill Mountains as my inspiration and backdrop, the colors on view with the dramatic changes in seasons is what inspires me to work more with color, the icy whites of winter, the dull browns of spring, the acid greens of summer and the vibrant mixture of hot reds/pinks/yellows and oranges of fall... a never ending palette to pull from.
