About my work
I want my work to capture a sense of excitement and drama with a message that conveys a thought or feeling. Because contrast provides the viewer the illusion of depth, I carefully consider the color values I use to create a piece that is realistic but at the same time stylistic. I commonly use saturated colors with a slant toward creating works with a Renaissance or Favist feel. Value, Hues and the purity and colorfulness of the piece as a whole, can provide an experience for the viewer. I want the viewer of my Art, whether it’s an Art Quilt or a Traditional quilt or a combination, to feel and be taken along in my story.
