Experience Life Through Art

As an early childhood educator, I am inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, where arts media offer young children diverse possibilities for expressing what they feel, think, and understand. Supporting teachers’ facility and understanding of materials to guide children’s inquiry is one of my passions.

Currently I use threads and stitchery to form my images. I am excited to work with naïve figurative forms, geometric shapes, and the patching together of rich textures and colors in ways that sometimes seem visually competitive, in either a striking or extremely subtle way. Hand stitching is a must. The repetitive stitching process is a form of prayer for me. Each artifact imbued with the sense of healing and gratitude for places and encounters in life.
