The work done at this time shows a view of nature in its present form and a view of possibilities for the next generation of flora.  Born in a rural mountainous area, I spent much time in the woods as a youngster where I developed my personal sense of nature.  Wherever I travel, I am constantly drawn to the rich variety of flowers.  As civilization progresses, there is less of a relationship with natural organic forms.  I find my artwork a way of staying connected to nature       

    Each of these mixed media fiber artworks includes hand dyed fabric, glass beads, fabric batik, crotched thread, and machine and hand appliqué stitching.
