Statement

In my studio I escape to an invented world of color, pattern, and impracticable structures. Ordinary objects and structures become vehicles of my imagination creating miniature landscapes that invite play, comfort, and delight. In my meticulous constructions, I combine the order of architectural elevation drawings with the comfort of my grandmother’s quilts through the application of machine-sewn fabrics, found paper bits and bobs, paint, and pencil on paper.
