My mixed media pieces are inspired by the textures, details, and rich colors of the anonymous artisans of the Middle Ages. Embroidery and ceramics are central to my art. My embroideries are reminiscent of manuscript paintings, using cotton and metallic threads in place of paint and gold leaf. My hand built ceramic frames are filled with figures and textures derived from the sculpture and architecture of the period. Like my predecessors, I try to tell a story, usually with a humorous twist.
