A newer artist at Solar Arts, I continue to pinch myself asking if this is all really real—partaking in the art family on the second floor. I feel so lucky to be here!
Originally from Cambridge, MA I was steeped in the arts through childhood. Originally focusing on music, I discovered fabrics, quilting and thread 20 years ago and have never looked back.
Whether experimenting with patchwork and color, creating fabric paintings, or long-arm quilting, my work showcases bold colors with a broad bouquet of thread and texture. Inspiration comes from places, books, and the fabric itself.
Most fun for me is witnessing the surprise from folks realizing, only up-close, my paintings are in fact fabric. Often framing pieces without glass, I like to remind folks my art is washable.
