Textiles are an intimate part of our lives and directly impact our wellbeing. They clothe, protect and adorn us. They are everywhere: in our homes, workplaces and the environment. They also exist in abundance. How we use, perceive and work with textiles can silently speak volumes about us and our culture. 

My preoccupation with the textile medium is focused on investigating constructed and assembled textiles using natural dyes, earth pigments and stitch applications. In response to the surrounding environment, my work enables me to revitalize old and discarded fabrics, dye samples, trims, and other castoffs to create new ideas about cloth. My formal knowledge about textiles started in 1978 where I completed my four year at Kolding Design School in Denmark. Later, I completed my Masters in Design Practice at Northumbria University in the UK. Through my many years of working off and on with every textile dyestuff and technique imaginable, I have always returned to working with natural dyes and pigments.
