Statement  

My “story quilts,” often hand-dyed using traditional shibori indigo techniques, embroidered, and hand-sewn with my photographic images, celebrate lens-based art alongside the craft and storytelling traditions of American quilt making. Rooted in a love of tactile process and visual narrative, my work explores the intersections of photography, textile, and memory. Each unique quilt square layers photographic imagery printed on indigo-dyed rice paper, honoring both experimentation and tradition.

My practice is deeply nostalgic, shaped by revisiting places from my past and discovering new landscapes that evoke a similar sense of the sublime—whether along the lake shores of my Canadian childhood or the blue Pacific beaches of my adopted California. Through these works, I aim to convey the joy and emotional resonance I experience when capturing moments of beauty, inviting viewers into a shared sense of wonder, serenity, and belonging that transcends time and place.
