About

As an image-maker and textile designer my work is heavily influenced by the many worlds I see around me. I draw from textures and patterns found in nature,  to intuitive forms found in the magic of my dreams. Anything that crosses my path can become the conceptual source of rich and innovative art/design. Ultimately, I seek to convey the mystery and music of life. Through my work I hope to inspire viewers to conjure up their own connection to the enchantment of everyday life.
