Artist Statement
"For over a decade I have been exploring how my quilts become works of art when I use fabrics, threads, paints, dyes and embellishments to bring my visions to life. My artwork is deeply personal, inspired by my unrelenting passion for authentic self-expression. My inspiration comes from my life as a woman, my family, my work as a psychotherapist, and a drive to release my conscious and unconscious creative energy through my artwork. As a practicing psychotherapist, I help women rebuild their self-esteem while healing their wounds. As an artist, I create images of women who are courageous, bold and inspirational. Whether working with women in my clinical practice or creating images of women in my artwork, my greatest desire is to instill in each of them the confidence and ability to connect with the world around them in a personal and meaningful way."
