ARTIST STATEMENT

Experiencing and reflecting.

Tuscany – The colors, the overall essence of the landscape, architecture, culture and history – I sought out local, pure fiber in the ultimate treasure hunt.

Creating “A Piece of the World – A Piece of You.”

Like the Italian Cyprus trees, lining the Tuscan countryside – showing their strength, their beauty with age.

Wandering, reflecting – the feelings within – sprouting, growing.

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES

Italian wool, cotton, ceramic, Italian Cyprus Cones.

International fiber mixed media sculpture.
