Fine Art Fabric Landscapes

I have been creating art for as long as I can remember, in some form or another: everything from drawings and paintings to costumes. I began college as an art major specializing in nature photography, for which I won many awards during that time. I finished my education with a degree in biology, but commercial employment took me too far away from the natural world. Eventually I returned to my art and discovered the use of fabric as an art medium.

I also broadened my perspective by becoming a private pilot. I used to think that I wanted to venture to the stars, but seeing the earth from above, in a small airplane, reminded me of the greatness of our own planet- the forests, the oceans, mountains, deserts- how truly amazing! I am still fascinated with the universe beyond, but there is so much to see and experience here, and not just from an airplane, from the patterns in the skin of a lizard to the giant, ancient trees and great, twisting canyons. We live in a stunningly beautiful world and I can't help my desire to express this in my art.
