"My work focuses on the transitory nature of life. My subjects are diverse and range from vegetation to trucks.

My technique of machine stitching comes from my love of drawing. The stitches that completely cover my canvas are like pencil hatching. I move the fabric freely in the machine as I sew to achieve the length and density of stitch wanted. Different colors of thread are layered throughout each piece to achieve a rich surface. The fine scale of thread is an extraordinary tool for describing detail. This has become increasingly apparent the more I work with thread, and my work has evolved accordingly."
