Artist Statement: My textile and painting works include embroidery, drawing, and embellished found objects. Some are bold and colorful while others reveal more soft and introverted subjects. I strive to manage and maintain an instinctive, intuitive aspect to my pieces. I frequently incorporate emotion and healing stories. I value creating art alongside others and participating in a community practice. I am a Fiber Artist of Miami Association (FAMA) member and have a new studio at the Red Thread Art Studio Miami. My goal is to blend my art therapy and fiber background to create pieces that can be installed in educational and healthcare settings.
