As a child artist, I began stitching under the influence of my third-grade art teacher and early mentor, Joan Veleff, who also awakened my desire to teach. I noticed that she enjoyed travel and studio time in the summer and was not dependent on the financial support of a husband. Under her direction, my artistic talent developed… a lucky thing, because I could barely learn to read.
Travel has always been a source of inspiration, particularly close-ups of antiquity in Venice, Antonio Gaudi’s architecture, Moroccan tile patterns, and glorious sites like Machu Picchu. My background in weaving informs a love of repeat pattern, and hand embroidery or obsessive sewing machine stitching are prominent in my work, because empty space makes me a bit nervous. I enjoy deconstructing familiar images and text so that they can be “read,” but not logically, and abstracting familiar yet provocative forms.
