In recent years, I have added printmaking as a method of illustrating what I cannot through weaving such that the limitations of each medium can be minimized without a loss to the meaning of the work. I let the ink move through the crevices in the paper and rest where there is space and pick up and travel again. It is in the flow of the ink where the magic happens.

A resolute believer in multiple experiences, I have been fortunate to navigate and spend time in different worlds.  Captivated at an early age with textiles, I trained as a textile and materials engineer/scientist and spent over three decades researching and developing textiles for industrial and medical uses with the majority of my time at Johnson & Johnson, Inc. Over the years, I turned to studying social science researching and defending my dissertation on public health and the conditions of premature death for marginalized populations. Combine these distinct experiences in different countries and cultures I have worked and studied in and I find myself coming back to my fascination with textiles as I now use them to illustrate observations of the natural world through fiber and now, paper and ink.
