About

I am a self-taught contemporary textile artist. I sew abstracted fabric landscapes, employing both traditional and modern improvisational quilting techniques. My work appears both two- and three-dimensional, and inhabits the intersection between craft and fine art (and questions the distinction between them). My art practice stems from a deep reverence for natural spaces and human connection.

In creating the work, I contemplate themes of human-nature stewardship across varied geographies – inner and external, real and imagined. I also work as an research program manager in a neuroscience lab that studies autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and mental health. My scientific interest in social cognition is driven by a desire to understand the human experience: how we experience joy, fear, and loss; how we heal; our perceptions of different realities; and what connection means to each of us. In my art practice, I seek to offer the viewer a space in which to connect authentically to their sensory and emotional experience. The abstracted landscapes call on viewers’ imaginations to fill in geographic details, while resonating with latent tactile memories of textiles and other domestic objects.

I began my first quilting project in 2008, building log cabin blocks with guidance from my aunt Marleen. In the years following, with more ideas and inspiration than I could fit into my free time, I began making smaller framed quilts to give as gifts. Inspired by the beautiful scenery of New England and northern New York State, I began to represent the simple beauty of rolling hills and water using the saturated palette and rich textures that fabric offers.
