I am continuing to explore the drama and subtleties of paper in these hand sewn constructions.  This work celebrates music, in tribute to the Mendocino Music Festival taking place this month.

Music is ephemeral.  Whether delicate or bold, sound is as insubstantial and temporary as cloud vapor. Even while being heard, it dissolves and disappears.  My musical memories can only be a snapshot in time. These pieces are reminiscent of the feelings music evokes for me in a fragment, a phrase, the totality of a piece or genre. 

They are sewn by hand, using the unlikely materials of many types of paper, plain, painted or otherwise embellished and incorporating unconventional materials such as window screening, Tyvek, fabric, discarded and found objects.

I'm currently exploring dimension with my collage paintings. They 
are influenced by the textural surfaces found on environmental forms. My work is created by folding, manipulating, gluing and sewing papers, combined with found and discarded materials, onto rods, panels or canvases. I use acrylic paints, pastels and a variety of mixed media.

​My pieces evoke water in some of its many forms, fluid and solid: Ocean, River, Cloud Vapor and Ice.

I have a passion for paper — plain or embellished with paint and mixed media.  My work comes together intuitively as I tear and sew the paper.  I focus on developing textural contrasts, shadows, and the architectural structures they create.

​Although my work is made to be hung on a wall, I am constantly
subtly pushing the dimensions out from the wall.
