<br />Description
<br />Weaving
<br />tapestries
<br />provides me with
<br />a process of
<br />transforming into
<br />visual form the
<br />myriad of
<br />mystical ideas,
<br />feelings, and
<br />fantasies that
<br />are my constant
<br />spiritual
<br />companions.
<br />I use color, form,
<br />and storytelling
<br />to develop a
<br />visual language
<br />that nurtures a
<br />sense of
<br />belonging and
<br />understanding of
<br />the natural world
<br />and our past.
