SALE!! (First ever!)
ORIGINAL TEXTILE COLLAGES, 25% OFF!
Some super pieces still available!
Here’s a win-win situation: I need more space in my studio to work on large paintings. You have been following my fiber art — possibly for years! — but you may have found it too expensive.
Solution? 25% off all of my larger and/or older textile collages. More, on some!
I remember the loving, careful hours spent creating these pieces and I look forward to knowing each one has found its place in the world. Please don't miss this opportunity to bring some beautiful nature into your home, or to gift it to
loved ones!
All art will be sold on a first come, first-served basis, via e-mail. So don’t hesitate to hit the contact button, even if it’s just to ask a question! And while I believe you'll be delighted with your collage when you see it, if for any reason it is not a fit in in your space, it is of course returnable and refundable if returned in excellent condition.
(All pieces are professionally framed using simply elegant wood frames and UV protective glass, except where indicated. Cradled wood panels are ready to hang. All works are signed. Some are signed and dated on the matte or on the art itself. If you have any questions about an individual piece you’re interested in, please don’t hesitate to ask.)

"Two whimsical pieces, 'Against the Tide' and "'River Clouds,' ... are captivating, initially because the designs and colors used are so fanciful. A closer look reveals hundreds of tiny snippets of fabric assembled to create rich, dense, imaginative compositions."

Aspiring to Glory (Bindweed I)
Aspiring to Glory won the mixed-media prize at a juried show at the Concord Art Association, Concord, MA.
I always feel sad for bindweed, the unappreciated cousin of morning glories. Bindweed flowers are usually white,
but I've seen them in pale pinks and thought I would share that.

A FEW FAQ'S
"What exactly are these collages? Are they quilts? Are they sewn? How do you get your ideas?"
Despite the fact that the primary medium is fabric, this is collage on a firm substrate, using archival glue, much like a cut paper collage. Some collages may be assembled with any combination of metal elements, fibers, acrylic medium and acrylic paint. There is no stitching involved.
What there is, is a huge amount of love and labor in each piece. Each collage is carefully cut and laid out before it is photographed, disassembled, and then slowly reassembled, gluing from the back layer, forward.
That is just the method. The inspiration comes from botanical life everywhere in nature and even indoors. And it also comes from the fabric itself.
A particularly blue batik fabric may inspire water and reflections, while a light green leafy pattern may become the surprise backdrop for an underwater pond scene, and burlap can become potting moss.
In these textile collages I try to capture the movement, color, beauty and joy of the natural world.
