I use handprinted papers, fabrics, found objects, and use color and pattern to encapsulate my feelings of remembrance, the beauty of yesterday and today. Mixed with the unexpected, the graphic, gestural and vibrant to create one work. These bits and pieces, kaleidoscope of color, pattern and process combine to create a whole that is stronger than its parts.
