I began creating wall art from textiles to express the love I have for the medium, and to celebrate the richness of colors and texture. In addition to providing a sense of warmth, I feel it brings a dimensional aspect to a space that makes it come alive.

I am usually inspired by the fabric itself. I enjoy working with the vibrant colors found in Batik and Wax Cloth fabrics, the rich colors and patterns of African Mud Cloth, and the texture of African Kuba Cloth. I also enjoy working with Indigo and fabrics with Asian designs. The art pieces I create are lively and bold, and range from small quilts presented in shadow boxes, to tapestries, to large abstracts and themed series.

To each of my designs I add various objects, such as beads, cowrie shells, brass figures, wood pieces, raffia, tassels, baskets and more as embellishment; the more unusual the better. I feel there is no limit to where my imagination will take me, and my artwork is the vehicle through which it is expressed.
