Working with textiles has ignited a deep creative energy within me. My work is rooted in a lifelong love of color that precedes my work as an artist. I’m drawn to its graphic power and the dynamic relationships between hues, values and saturation. Abstract art captivates me because it invites boundless interpretation; it allows anything to be anything, and gives the viewer space to invent their own story.

For me, creating is an intuitive, emotional process—one that words often fail to capture. I cut fabric, sew it back together, and through intricate piecing, I shape compositions that emerge from imagination rather than representation. My work is large-scale, abstract, and layered and stitched like a quilt, yet displayed on the wall like a painting.
