My work is a mixture of my life experiences and interests, combining my love of cultural, personal, and traditional histories with contemporary issues of gender. How do we look at each other? At ourselves? As a young woman, I am intrigued by what it means to be a woman. I have been exploring traditional and nontraditional materials to examine these issues. Using whatever materials I can get a hold of, I find a way to make them tell a story.

My work is inspired by the contrast of technology and the art of the handmade. Comparing the history of textiles and its applications to its affect on the textiles of today and the future. Taking influences from the exploration of pattern, literally and figuratively. From the sun rising and setting every day to the inner structures and skeletons of a repeat pattern. I am propelled by the poetic quality that cloth brings to people. My goal is to enhance the means of everyday life while representing culture, quality and the balance of old and new.
