"Katherine" 29.5" X 20"

Over the last couple of years I had the honor of being among sixteen artist that were commissioned to make art for the new GM design building. The work I did for the building was two 28' X 8 ' wall installations, and a 12' X 4' front and back hanging tapestry. After two years of working on the tapestry it solidified for me a love of textile work and has sent me in new directions artistically. After I finished the tapestry for GM, I took an online class on portrait
quilting. Here's where
it all began and I have to say, I really love working in fiber. My current work is large scale
tapestries of Monkeys and gorillas. The underlying theme being Hear no evil,
See no evil, Speak no evil, Monkey see, monkey do. Which translates to live
without judgement, stay away from negativity in the world, and speak kindly of
one another, and most important lead by example. My work has always had a
symbolic aspect to it, where I learn a lot about my own psychology and the
world around me.
