As a textile artist and weaver, I have passed through many phases in my work. I began in the 1970s, weaving large organic wall hangings, moved on to making rugs and interior design items, and finally arrived at fine-patterned weavings with computer- assisted designs.

In an attempt to add interest and variety to my weaving, I began studying surface design and became very interested in working with dyes, hand painting, printing, patterning, collage, removing color and over-dyeing. Studying and experimenting with surface design techniques, is to me, an endlessly fascinating process that has so many side-roads that I am certain I will be investigating them for the rest of my life.
