"I am trying to bring painterly concerns to a medium, fiber/textiles, which historically has been primarily decorative and to address some of the populist influences of that medium: design, craft, ethnic, and folk from a fine arts perspective.

In the vital pursuit of crating the illusion of 3 -dimensional space on the picture plane, I employ painterly techniques such as: light/shadow, figure/ground, and perspective. The pixel-like quality in my work, a result of the physical manipulation, is very conducive to the coloration technique of simultaneous contrast the use of multiple solid colors in tight proximity to create a vibrant richness, most often associated with the Impressionists and especially the Pointillists."
