Artist's Statement As a champion of women, and particularly
women’s issues, I find it appropriate that my preferred medium is embroidery.
The warm, tactile quality of thread relates to the traditional view of women as
warm and caring individuals. People, individually or in groups, provide endless
inspiration for my embroideries. My technique is simple. Making visual notes
while traveling, shopping, or going about my daily activities, I convert these
to simple drawings that become the basis for my work. Final drawings are
transferred to soluble fabric on which I work the embroidery freestyle at: the
machine. Once the embroidery is complete the background is boiled away leaving
only the thread. The open background spaces then become an integral part of the
design. Occasionally these embroideries are combined with other materials such
as painted fabrics or photocopies that have been manipulated or altered.
My embroideries are intended to provide the viewer a look at everyday situations with a tinge of humor. My aim is not to make a political statement; rather, it is to produce work that will inspire a smile, a memory, an appreciation of the world we share.
