The thread that runs through all my work is an exploration of seemingly minor occurrences – ones that lend a sense of meaning to our lives provided we take time to notice. Whether expressing those findings abstractly or representationally, I am interested in organizing space and the elements within it through color, pattern, and intensive stitching.
