Welcome!

Overall, the focus of my artwork is to embrace traditional textile crafts, but also to immerse myself in vital female energy. I think working with fabric, thread, and yarn is a very female-centered activity. I am equally inspired by an African-American ancestry that informs my work, impacts my artistic sensibilities, and indulges a desire to create exciting contemporary works, which, nonetheless, employ traditional skills.
