As a mixed media fiber artist I am attracted to the dichotomy of opposites. I like blending ancient craft and modern fine art techniques, mixing organic and synthetic materials in the same piece. I have the most reverent respect for the craft of Japanese papermaking. As a result I create work that reflects tradition, that poses integrity and speaks of the hand of the maker. I describe my handmade paper assemblages as "papestries". Layered and textured, they are a pure assimilation of Japanese aesthetics.
