Textile arts have always tweaked my curiosity and inspired me to try new processes. Quilting, knitting, embroidery, felting, paper, surface design, and sewing have all been part of my textile experience. The visual and tactile qualities of textiles have great appeal. I’m also intrigued by the narrative component of textile design. The stories of the maker as well as the receiver of art reveal a great deal about women’s history and personal expression. The simple abundance of materials and techniques available today make the invitation to explore the textile arts inescapable. My plan is to continue the journey and enjoy every step of the way.
