Artist’s Statement
My art represents the marriage of my two great loves: digital art and fiber art. Such an odd union – current digital technology and ancient textile techniques. The end product defies media classification, and I really don’t care if you call it photography, digital art, fiber art, mixed media, or even painting. It’s art. Everything else is irrelevant.
Some pieces deliver a clear, direct message. Others, however, are widely open to interpretation where each viewer sees something different and no one is right or wrong. It’s a personal journey.
