Fiber Art is my creative focus...handmade paper, creative stitchery, and weaving, the processes that involve the earthy, "soft and fuzzy" elements of the world and of being. My handmade papers are made from plant and vegetable fibers like abaca, cabbage, pumpkin, banana peel, agave.

My paper works are paper paintings, different from paintings on paper. Plant fibers are my palette. The paper is the piece. Titles of the works are only a means to encourage viewers to visit the piece and reflect on their own interpretation. Teaching people about these pleasures and discoveries is another exhilarating experience for me. It is a shared experience that touches each of us in immeasurable, personal ways, through the process of 'making' and becoming.
