I am a mixed media fiber artist. I create the entire structure of my art pieces. My latest work contains digital printing. Digital Fiber! This involves using my own photographs, digitally manipulated in an artistic manner, printed on prepared ink jet fabrics and various textile substrates. These works can include painting, dying, stamping screen-printing, mono printing and other means of surface design.
I created an innovative technique with printed photographs on silk organza, mounted, to create a unique holographic 3-D effect. I call it Holographic Images.
When I work, I encourage a collaborative process with spirit or my higher self, that mind-boggling principle of the universe. This process can also be called ‘flow’. When you are in this state of mind, the intuitive is tapped and the work can become more than the sum of it’s parts. I work out insights, inspirations, feelings and reactions to the outer world. Allowing time for these inspirations to percolate up from my unconscious is a vital part of my process.
I am quite passionate about my work. I continue to explore my chosen medium, fabric, to see what it can do, to stretch its perception as art medium.
