“Immolations are my own artistic gesture. With them I’m having a conversation with the audience that no one else is having. This is what I wanted. I achieved my goal.”

REPRESENTATION OF WORKS
Within my practice emerges
six bodies of work.
Below are a visual representation of each. For a full portfolio of each refer to the PORTFOLIO tab in the menu. These sections also include the specifics of each piece, availability, and published, proprietary stories behind each work of art.

IMMOLATIONS
The material is comprised of used plastic bottles. The “felt” is then manipulated by hand, heat, and fire to achieve my desired results. The highly emotional process allows me to transfer mood, music, and experience to my work.
TOTEMS
Totems are cylindrical tapestries that utilize signature techniques. They emerge as three dimensional assemblages of rich fiber and other mixed media to tell my story. Each handmade item is as unique as the stories and inspirations that I draw from.
PULP
Pulp are homemade and dehydrated paper assemblages.
Fiber Abstractions
Printed macro photography of my art details.
Open Work
My take on lace work. Like immolations but I burns straight through forming new textures and patterns.
