ARTIST STATEMENT

Experiencing and reflecting.

Italy – 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.”

Natural, with pure intentions, one’s true self – expanding, growing beyond what was even thought possible.

Beautiful to feel, one can feel the experiences (both bumpy and smooth), looking within – still spiked and a little guarded… yet the growth is limitless with potential…

MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES

Italian wool, cotton, ceramic. 

International fiber mixed media sculpture.
