a
study in color, texture & line
My mother was a talented seamstress and could not only design, but
execute an entire wedding party ensemble including hats, purses, and
fabric-covered shoes. She instilled in her three daughters the love of
art, and we each took this in our chosen direction. Mom is still my
greatest influence in this field.
Being faced with a puzzle or challenge
excites me. My inspirations often come from nature, so my camera travels
with me. Most of my photos are juxtapositions, ironies and rhythms found
in nature.
Then, I rely on my spirituality to lead
me to a technique or theme. Also as I am working, I am only the tool that
executes that spirit’s bidding. Being with this garment, I feel earthy,
full of life, and flowing. It feels like a sculpture to me. I try to stay
loose and follow the trail. Sounds crazy but it works for me.
