As an artist and a gardener, my connection to the Spirit is strengthened by working directly with the earth. Cycles of growth and decay, heat and cold, light and dark remind me daily of the Creator’s plan for harmony in the natural world. The pattern of life within the unpredictable beat of that rhythm forces me to trust in the ultimate wisdom of God’s creation.
 
In my work, layers of fabrics and fibers woven together focus on the delicate balance inherent in these cycles. Visually, emphasis shifts back and forth between linear shapes formed by the woven structure and irregular shapes created by the coloration and embellishment of the surface. This shifting reflects the balance that we as humans try to achieve pursuing spiritual growth amid the distractions of the material world.
