A Changing Landscape, 2024

cotton, wool, Tencel 11" x 12"

Our coast changes with the warming climate. Imagine an aerial view, one might see a coastline abutting steep hills. As sea levels rise, drought and flooding alter our landscape. Beautiful in its fierce fight for survival, our land is nonetheless succumbing to the forces of time and climate change.

Navigating these Waters, 2025

cotton, wool, Tencel 31" x 38"

Water respects few boundaries, flowing freely until obstructed. Events over the last years have complicated lives for so many people, communities and nations. We truly are trying to navigate these waters.

The Sands of Time, 2024

cotton, wool, Tencel, hemp, flax, copper wire 46" x 35"

“The Sands of Time” may resemble an archeological dig, lost civilization, or even a nameless contemporary community. Time passing is often viewed with nostalgia; glorifying an earlier period with a yearning for what was. May this time passage also bring hope for a better tomorrow.

Real News, 2019

Cotton, wool, newspaper strips, t-shirt strips, tulle, ribbon 45" x 53"

Real News is a tribute to the journalists who, despite attacks levied against them, help protect our democracy by ferreting out and reporting the facts of a story. This triptych is woven in the traditional black and white of our daily newspapers and is designed to reflect columns and images. Materials include cotton, wool, Tencel, fabric scraps, newspaper strips and ribbon.

Life Without CHOICE, 2022

cotton, wool, tencel 30" x 46"

When 50 years of precedent is upended, it's impossible to remain silent. The overturning of Roe v Wade is an assault on women's rights, threatening the lives, livelihoods and dreams of countless women and girls. Life Without CHOICE, addresses this in stark black, white and red jagged contours.

Bringing the Outside In, 2021

Cotton, wool, Tencel, tulle 23" x 63"

This tapestry was commissioned by a family who wanted there to be no separation between the natural world outside their living room window and the flow of life inside their home. Decades earlier, they’d lost their father while he was hiking in the hills. This piece suggests the silhouette of mountains and the greenery of the surrounding landscape in tribute to their father who died in the place he loved most.
