My art work does not exist solely on its own. It is engaged either directly or indirectly with the cultures and arts that I independently research.  As a fiber artist, I use materials that have a strong history and relation to numerous cultures.  I  have always been intrigued with the communicative power of these materials within their culture and within my own art work.
