I’m a fiber artist. I’m mad about the play of color and texture on fiber. I create pieces of fiber sculpture. I practiced interior design after graduating with a degree in fine art. After decade of successful practice, I realized that it was not my true calling, even though I was great at it. To quench my creative thirst, I turned to fiber. I wanted to create a unique piece of art, experimenting with metal and fibers. I turned and spun the materials until I had achieved a cylindrical architecture built of fiber and metal. It was satisfying in a way that no other discipline had been. The final set had five pieces. They were at once part of me, a personal story; they were also tribal, hinting at a story I had not told yet. Because of this, I decided to name what I had created, totems. As a recent transplant to Miami, I am amazed at the play of color in the environment. The Miami sky is unlike any other. This was my homage to that beautiful sky.
