I am honored to be one of the 438 entries from 41 US states and 11 countries to be selected for the Fantastic Fibers 2024 exhibition. Works will be on view at the Yeiser Art Center in Paducah, KY.
My art documents the progress of my experiences as a woman, mother and creator aging in rural Iowa. As I child I lived on my family’s farm and felt a connection to the earth, to its textures and its colors. Only now, after I spent nearly a lifetime in the city where I could find employment and resources necessary to raise my children, can I come back to the places and spaces where I again hear my inner thoughts.
I am a mixed media artist. Through weaving, sculpting, collaging, and quilting with fabric and paper, I tell the stories of my years lived, years lost and years to come.
