Recently I shared more of my story on Instagram and thought itโd be good to share with all the Followers of this Blog too!
…As an artist working in textiles, I began my love of fabrics as a young girl in grade school–beginning with sewing an apron in Girl Scouts! โบ The local fabric shop was a fascinating place for me with all the wonderful colors, different textures to touch, and the endless possibilities of what someone could create from all the different materials! Endless possibilities…!
โ๏ธ๐๐๐
Through the years, I sewed my own clothes and later made a traditional sampler quilt. After taking a few classes at shops over the years, I went to Graduate School and studied Apparel Design, taught design classes on the university level, and continued to design original textile creations…
My focus is now Textile Art. I gather design ideas from my life experiences, like from travels… walking in nature and gardens๐ฟ๐ท๐ป๐ผ…and studying human development๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง. I then express those ideas in my wall hangings, or “fabric paintings”! ๐จ
Here, I share my works-in-progress, inspirations & ideas I’m gathering, plus new completed Original Art…and Art Prints and Cards.
*Iโd love to share more with you about my journey as an ArtistโฆIs there any questions youโd like to ask me about my work &/or creative, design process?
